I sat down with Joel McCann, aka Keyelement, to talk about his journey from a small-town pianist to making moves in the Nashville music scene. From working at Sweetwater Sound to taking a leap of faith in Music City, Joel shares his passion for creating music, the struggles of breaking into the scene, and how he's using his business acumen to support artists with merch while launching his own career.
We get real about the challenges of being a working musician—college vs. DIY grind, making connections, and the harsh realities of the industry. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build a career in music without losing your creative spark, this is for you. We also crack open some beers and dive into what makes the perfect brew, why live music hits different in an intimate venue, and how burnout can be the biggest killer of creativity.
Whether you're an aspiring artist, a gigging musician, or just love music culture, this convo is packed with insight and inspiration. Don’t miss out! Hit play, drop a comment, and let’s talk about the hustle.
