The truth about online coaches (2026)

Most of us treat peace as a distant reward—something that arrives only after the album is released, the rent is paid, the right person finally calls back, or we've finally achieved enough to justify the rest we deserve. But what if peace wasn't a destination waiting at the end of your plan, but rather a practice embedded within it?    Read the post Free Artist Training Coaching + courses Music and Audio Production: www.everynowheremusic.com

The culture around creativity increasingly trains everyone on everyone else's output, compressing references and narrowing the ground from which genuine distinction can emerge. The question, then, is not how to sound different for its own sake, but whether we're willing to let the contradictions and cross-pollinations of our actual lives shape what we create.

Sheila Chandra returns to Tapasya Loading for her third appearance to discuss Echo, a collection of live recordings she describes as possibly her final album. Her first album as producer reunites her with Stuart Bruce, a collaboration dating back to Sheila’s Monsoon sessions in 1982 and continued through her Real World trilogy. For Echo, they worked as a team of two, communicating entirely via email. In this episode: Producing Echo and the dynamics of a two-person collaboration. Production techniques and the often overlooked art of vocal production. Revisiting past performances and choosing feeling over technical perfection. Accessibility for artists, being mentored and becoming a mentor. Sheila’s artistic journey and her perspective on what may be her last release.   Echo is released on 25 September 2026 through Real World Records on LP and digital, with six additional tracks on the digital edition.   Explore Echo and find listening and purchase options.   Previous conversations with Sheila: Voices Lost and Found Revisiting the Birth of ‘World Music’ and Unpacking its Relevance in 2023   Listen to the second half of the episode.   Free Artist Training Coaching + courses Music and Audio Production: www.everynowheremusic.com Connect with Sheila: Website: https://www.sheilachandra.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheila_chandra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesheilachandra Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheila.chandra.1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sheilachandra0000 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheilachandraartistcoach/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sheila-Chandra/e/B0034Q533Q Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheila_Chandra IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1291550/bio/ Connect with T.L. www.tlmazumdar.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everynowheremusic/  

With roughly a month to go before my eighth album comes out, I’m revisiting the work I’ve dedicated the past decade to, and what I was searching for through it. This is a look back at that search, and how my upcoming album, Seen Heard Held, aims to be the counterbalance to what Re_movement was.  The IG Carousel with photos.

Three weeks after a racial attack in Berlin, I move from shock and helplessness into anger, and sit with the discomfort of agreeing with what someone is fighting for without knowing if I could fight the same way. A solocast about racism, belonging, contradictory truths and what humanity means when even that word can be hijacked. -- More Relevant Links: My talks with Equity Coach Tayo Rockson My Talks with Sheila Chandra My article on Racism in Germany --- Free Artist Training Coaching + courses Music and Audio Production: www.everynowheremusic.com

Five years after her first appearance on Tapasya Loading, New York-based Dutch vocalist, composer, producer, educator and psychologist Vivienne Aerts returns as our first-ever guest to make a second reappearance. Her new album, Current, was created aboard a tiny wooden sailboat that Vivienne and her husband, Ted Steinebach, first bought during the pandemic. What began with a fascination for the acoustics of open water eventually became a floating studio, travelling from Leiden towards Amsterdam and back through the Dutch waterways. Vivienne chose not to release the album on mainstream platforms, refusing to place a project built around attention, connection and care inside a system she feels is increasingly removed from those values.   Listen to the second half of the episode.   Connect with Vivienne Vivienne’s website Explore the world of Current Listen to and support Current on Bandcamp Why Current Will Not Be on Spotify ViviTalks on Substack Instagram Vivienne at Berklee College of Music Vivienne’s previous appearances Well-being for Artists and Making Music with Chocolate Making an Album with 100 Plus Female Collaborators, Chocolate that Empowers Local Congo Businesses and Effortless Mastery in Juggling Multiple Hats Connect with T.L.
