Today's guest is LA based musician Kasey Holt. A classical violinist, Kasey followed her curiosities and found herself in the realm of jazz music where she was challenged to improvise on her violin - something that felt foreign as a classical musician. But with that experience, she was able to start hearing her own voice, permitting her to think and feel outside of the box, using music as her expressive vehicle. By acknowledging and honoring her true feelings, she was able to write and record a personal album called "Letting."
Kasey's story is raw, real, and incredibly deep. Tune in to this week's episode to learn why facing your inner truths - the good, the bad, and the ugly - is the key to creating music from the heart. -

Full disclosure: we went into this interview with pianist Jonny May thinking we'd be chatting about tactics. (You know, the "how" behind Jonny's incredibly successful marketing strategy.)
Between starting his career as the youngest Disneyland pianist ever at age 18, creating new gig opportunities that led to a restaurant owner purchasing a grand piano just for him to come play, and launching his online teaching site, www.pianowithjonny.com, there is clearly much to learn from this classically-trained, ragtime-loving pianist!
But instead of talking tactics, we dug into all things mindset, resilience and service behind what it takes to build a successful career as a musician.
And here's why: without this foundational mindset and service-based approach to business, nothing else matters.
Jonny was 110% speaking our language when it comes to having the courage to step out there and create your own opportunities as a musician, and we seriously loved every minute of this inspirational and example-filled conversation!
One of our favorite quotes from Jonny is that as musicians, we're essentially "helping people help people."
That's the power of music! And with all the craziness that goes on in this 21st century world of ours, we are truly blessed to be able to give back through what we offer the world as teachers and performers.
Yes, there are absolutely certain strategies and marketing tactics that will help you achieve your goals faster and more efficiently. But it's that heart of serving others that helps you make an impact, which in turn will fuel the success of your marketing efforts and your career. It's a beautiful thing!
In case you missed the Facebook Live conversation, you can catch the video replay over on The Marketed Musician Facebook page or tune in to hear the audio version on this week's podcast.
Either way, we hope you'll set aside about 35 minutes to enjoy this inspirational conversation!Last week, we also announced several new offerings at The Marketed Musician, including 3 Weekend Workshops for each of the 3 stages of marketing and a free quiz that'll help you discover which stage of marketing you're currently in!
