Why do so many famous, seemingly successful musicians wind up completely broke?
In this bonus series, I’m interviewing incredibly talented musicians who are using cutting-edge decentralized podcasting technology to reinvent the music industry.
Today we’re here with Suzanne Santo, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. A tireless creator, her sound has been described as Americana, Southern-gothic soul, and forward-thinking rock & roll. Santo performed for a decade as a member of the L.A.-based duo HoneyHoney, and went on to tour the world from Greece to Glastonbury as a member of Hozier's band. You may have seen her on Joe Rogan’s podcast playing with the great Gary Clark, Jr.
You’re going to dig this one. In this episode, you’ll hear:
The surprising and tragic truth about big contracts in the music industry
How and why musicians lose creative control over their art and identity
How to maintain top health and performance on the road
How to balance a career as a musician with being a mother
Why deleting all of your social media apps is awesome
And much more…
Be sure to listen until the end of this show to hear Suzanne’s track, Worried.
And if you’d like to drop a some “sats” in the tip jar for today’s episode, which will be split 50/50 with Suzanne, simply:
