Music has the power to do so much more than we realize. It impacts our mental health, it builds community, and it brings joy to the listener. But the reality is independent artists and local musicians are struggling to keep their artistic endeavors afloat We have often heard of the "struggling artist" but where does this idea come from? And why can't we change that?
You have an opportunity with this podcast to take that first step towards change. Key Change is an attempt at hosting different conversations between musicians about their careers and experiences in their local music bubbles. And through these stories, we believe we can build empathy for our artists, and enhance an already growing music scene.
This podcast is hosted by the Local Sound Collaborative, a grass roots music organization in Rochester NY. In this first episode with Zahyia Rolle, Greg Best, Briana Horton, and Geoff Dale we talk about a variety of topics. How does music effect your mental health? What is your writing process like? How do you form relationships in your community to pursue your craft?
The first episode is an introduction, and hopefully a springboard into meaningful conversations that can enlighten us all to the great value music brings to our world.
