In this heartfelt episode, Tzayla sits down with Nashville-based artist, producer, and songwriter Daniel McCurdy to talk about his journey from producing behind the scenes to stepping into the spotlight with a fresh country-inspired artist project. They dive deep into community, calling, the spiritual journey of being “good clay,” and the messy beauty of letting go of control in both music and life. If you've ever wrestled with direction or doubted your dream—this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • “Be good clay.” Let God shape your path, even if it looks wildly different from what you imagined.
  • Surround yourself with creatives who stretch you, challenge you, and share your love for music. Growth happens in community.
  • Perfection isn’t the goal—connection is. Sometimes your voice cracking or a weird snare hit is what makes the song feel real.
  • Nashville isn’t just country music—it’s a movement of creatives supporting each other. The “pitch meeting” open mic scene is a must-experience.
  • Follow the open doors. Don’t get so stuck on your five-year plan that you miss the detours meant to lead you home.
