LTATM: Episode 1 Real Talk for Musicians Starting Out

Written By Shels L Pixi

Let’s Talk About The Music: Renewed and Refreshed

Let's Talk About The Music debuted in 2015 with the specific goal of providing independent musicians a platform for discussion and self-expression, along with offering a vital networking source for the music community. The show has evolved over the intervening years with a great deal of healing, growing, and changing, but this original goal still stands as firm as it did in 2015.

I have been pretty busy since then as the creative force behind LTATM, working on building my skills to continuously revitalize and reinvigorate the show. I returned to school and earned a business management degree; absorbed innumerable lessons from 89.9 The Current (KGRG at Green River College); and vastly improved my mental health. In particular, I want to extend fervent thanks to Mr. Jon Kasprick and Mr. Jeff MacMillam for their invaluable support and advice.

As they say, “the show must go on,” LTATM is undergoing a rebranding from lessons learned via 899 The Current, known as KGRG at Green River College. The goal is to produce the show without a co-host.

In honor of bringing Let’s Talk About The Music back into the spotlight, we have a new theme song from collaboration with Papa Satch and a whole new energy for highlighting the best of Pacific Northwest music and for networking with different musicians throughout the world. This newest incarnation drops on October 2, 2024, with the first episode written as a blog. Listen through Audioboom, which will release the podcast to all its platforms. Three days later it will appear on YouTube.

The Blog Post of Episode 1 (Part One):
Inspiring New Musicians with Stories

Sean from Lust for Glory (of Spokane, WA) and Corey Wold (once from 21 Day Coma but now in Pure Energy) come onto the show to help inspire young artists and musicians who are just trying to break out on their own, like Keith from CHAOS 101.

To kick things off, we will share tips on how to get started in the music industry. I asked Sean and Corey to share their personal journeys in the music industry, hoping that they can encourage and inspire new musicians like Keith. Corey and Sean have a lot to share in this first episode so we will post it in two parts.

Launching October 9, 2024

Episode 1 (Part Two):
Inspiring New Musicians with Stories. 

In the second part of Episode 1, we will focus on getting started in the music industry. Corey will start by chatting with Keith; after that, Sean will join in and ask Keith more questions before we all come back together for the rest of the show. They talk with Keith to get to know him and learn what inspires him in electro music. Turns out Keith's biggest inspiration is his uncle, who performs in a jazz and blues band in Arizona known as Soul Essential.

Sean, Corey, and Shels have known each other for a long time and share in a conversation how they started and what inspired them to become musicians or performers. If you want more information on the guest co-hosts, please visit LetsTalkAboutTheMusic.com.
