Gabe Garnes aka LocalColor comes on to discuss life in LA, the music industry, and what it takes to make it in this town post-pandemic. We had a great conversation about depression and the struggles that it takes to get your work seen, or heard. The rejection you'll receive and the pure hate that people will have. This town is tough. Loved this one.
