Next week I’ll be releasing the debut episode of my new podcast, “Tomorrow’s Stars” that will feature up and coming artists, with the goal of helping undiscovered artists reach a wider audience.

In the meantime, I’ve had quite a few people reach out to me wanting to come on my existing podcast, Music, Money and Life recently. Upon reflection, I've decided to keep my current podcast going as well and so going forward, I'll continue to release podcasts for Music, Money and Life from time to time, as my schedule permits.

In my latest podcast I speak with Drew Smith. Drew Smith is an award-winning professional songwriter (RIAA GOLD) and country artist based in Nashville, TN. He is the owner of Gray Sound Recording LLC, working as a producer and senior mixing engineer and the creator of “The Before You Record Course,” for new artists.

Drew’s work has been recorded in many countries including the US, Canada, Ireland, Germany and Australia (among others) by legends like Merle Haggard, Nashville powerhouse Randy Houser, Rob Snyder, Jason Charles Miller, Kevin Denny and Australian-Canadian country singer, Gord Bamford, the only two-time winner of the CMA Global Country Artist of the Year award. Drew toured coast to coast for several years in his early career and has shared the stage with Merle Haggard, Don Williams, Big & Rich, Lee Brice, Lady A and many others.

In my podcast with Drew, we discuss:

-How to get publishing deals in Nashville
-How to get your songs recorded by major artists
-What it’s like living and working in Nashville as a musician
-How the recent growth of Nashville has changed the landscape for Nashville based musicians
-How to network and collaborate with other songwriters
-The importance of taking risks in your music career
-Making money as a songwriter vs performer
-How to have success in multiple areas within the music industry
-How to prepare for a recording session
-and much more…
