In this episode I wanted to reflect back on the journey of music and the inspiration that drove me. I wanted to tell the story of how I am "blooming where I am planted" in a mid-size town that is not known for entertainment but for it's industry in polymer and tire factories. I created a project with a few local recording artists called "Blooming Where Planted - A Soundtrack Of A City". This was my "Quincy Jones" project to unite the area all on one project under my production. From there, the idea of uniting the area's local recording blossomed into this podcast, meet-ups, blogs and more cool stuff to come. If you like what you heard, by all means, SUBSCIBE LIKE SHARE!
