33. Jimmy DeTalente: 70's Music vs. 80's Music

This week I sit down with Jimbo Slice… Jimmy Detalente. Jimmy is the lead singer and songwriter for Jimmy Detalente and The Electric Revival. Jimmy and I reflect on our 20 plus year friendship, we come to complete agreement on why the 70s was the far superior musical decade to the 80s, discuss the difference between wearing your influences on your sleeve and being a total rip off (we are looking at you Greta Van Fleet), and even touch on how your enneagram number effects your approach to songwriting. You can find out more about Jimmy and his band at www.sparktherevival.com [http://www.sparktherevival.com/]. So sit back, buckle up and adjust the rearview you are listening to Nashville to Memphis.

32. Artist Management and the value of mentoring with Taylor Kottke

This I make a call to La La Land to get Taylor Kottke on the phone to talk about the role of mentors and the value of a good question. Taylor Kottke, first gained an interest in the music business when she managed and sang in a local cover band in her teenage years. She then went on to pursue a degree in the field at Visible Music College, where she managed a summer tour with Visible Worship, worked under Boo Mitchell of Royal Studios in Memphis and went on to hold various Los Angeles internships in the summers before graduating in 2016. She now lives in Los Angeles and works for Faculty Management and Productions, running day-to-day operations for major worship band, Mosaic MSC and rising indie-pop star, Riah.
