HOW TO: Steer the Ship as an Independent Musician (w/ Ava Maybee)
Description
It's a high school reunion this week! The guys chat with singer-songwriter Ava Maybee, who gives us an inside look at what it takes to flourish as an independant musician. On this episode, Ava discusses her evolving relationship with beauty (and Luke's relationship with his hair), her songwriting process (including the challenges of taking a lyrics-first approach), and the moment she found her dream team of producers.
Ava also walks us through the speech she gives before every live show; she sets the tone for a space where everyone can express themselves like no one’s watching. Ava also shares why she never writes from a place of anger, how she once rented a Craigslist ambulance for a music video, and what true leadership looks like as an independent artist still charting her own course without a label.
