#173: E-Turn - Hustle with Heart: Touring, Voiceover, and the Journey
Manage episode 488430195 series 1260530
In this powerful return episode, Chris G sits down with Orlando-based rapper, singer, and voiceover artist E-Turn — one of the most respected indie artists in the Southeast. With a deep catalog, multiple Florida tours, and voiceover credits for brands like Kmart, E-Turn shares her wisdom on building an independent music career with intention, grit, and grace.
We dive into the realities of DIY touring, how she landed her first tour with Homeboy Sandman, tips for booking shows the right way, and the surprising overlap between voice acting and the music business. E-Turn also shares her pivot into voiceover work, managing burnout, and why aligning your craft with your purpose is essential for long-term success.
Whether you're an artist, promoter, or someone navigating the creative industry, this conversation is full of gold — from tour booking strategies and energy management on the road to monetizing your voice in unexpected ways.
🔐 Plus: Head over to Patreon for an exclusive bonus segment where E-Turn and Chris break down a real tour booking email step-by-step — and how to write one that actually gets a response.
💡 Topics Covered:
Building genuine relationships in the music industry
How to book your own tour (even as an indie artist)
Touring tips: energy management, merch strategy, and mental health
Transitioning into voiceover work (and how to get started)
Leveraging past work to promote new music
Making merch that actually sells
How to define “making it” on your own terms
