In this episode, I sit down with Ben Brown. Ben currently studies film at the University of Michigan. We launch the episode by talking about Jon Bellion, one of Ben's favorite artists. Ben goes in depth about how country music impacts him on a deeper level than most other genres of music. He really enjoys listening to artists like Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton and Sam Hunt. I really learned a lot about country music this episode and how directors of films think when they are selecting music and sounds for a scene. Ben is a well spoken person who loves all types of music and thoroughly understands how it all impacts him. I felt like Joe Rogan on how much I was learning this whole episode. I look forward to having Ben back on in the future!

Plus, most of them are my homies now." He shared one of his favorite moments of the Miami trip. "42 Dugg showed up in a Lamborghini and Lucas just looked over at me, speechless."

We tell funny stories from that night and how it was a great place to collaborate for both of us. We chat in depth about one of his favorite artists, Lil Yachty. Lil yachty is going to drop Lil Boat 3 tonight at midnight on all streaming platforms. Nathan also talks about the struggles of being an artist. "It can be pretty difficult to deal with criticism and have people not take your music seriously when you do." Nathan said before we launched into the episode. I think it's important for artists to be as authentic as possible and he definitely was here! Droke just dropped a project called "The Quarantine Collection" and I really like that 2 song project. I can't wait to collaborate on some more songs and music videos in the future. I'm also excited to see what he does in the future!

In this episode, I interviewed avid music listener, Jared Hansen. Jared and I took a deep dive into the discographies of Mac Miller, Logic, Wiz Khalifa, Post Malone, Eminem and NF. Jared starting to really dive into hip hop through Eminem and Mac Miller at an early age. Jared was first impacted by Mac Miller's "K.I.D.S" mixtape. Jared's favorite album by Mac is his "Watching Movies With the Sound Off" project. He started listening to Logic when he dropped his Under Pressure album back in 2014. Logic and Mac are 2 artists that have popped up on the podcast in other episodes. Jared just had such a pure perspective on all of these artists.

He shot a video for this song as well. Maclain is currently working on a project right now. He wants to create a story line experience throughout the whole project like Pink Floyd has before. He has a couple done and I have to finish a verse up for it too! He also wants to branch into movies, through directing and acting. He just wants to find his place as a creative in the entertainment industry. It has been a fun journey to see Maclain follow his passions and create his own reality.

In this episode, Audrey, Jack, Parker and I all talk about the band and how much we are progressing! About a year ago, I texted Audrey just so we could start playing and jamming in her basement. She invited Parker along and we just had really great energy. At the time, we didn't have any experience playing together, knew nothing about each other and it still flowed almost effortlessly. You can feel when there is a great team of people in one room. We started getting more persistent at practicing when we added Jack into the band around December of 2019. We now have a 7 song setlist, hang out all of the time and never fail to bring the energy each time we play together. Playing with this group is one of the best things that I've ever done. Great people with great creative abilities can always bring the best out of you. I look forward to having them back on The Musician's Minute podcast in the future!
