Summary: In this episode of the Musician Monster Podcast, I spend a few minutes introducing myself and reveal the hard truth behind my personal failures as a musician. I prefer to perform interviews because I think you will find them more interesting. But then I realized I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’ve never explained who I am, what I do, and why you would, or wouldn’t, give a rats ass. How rude of me.
