The Artists’ Blend
Hi friends! We’re just two artists pouring over different aspects of artistry and industry (like musical theatre, film scores, monetizing your artistry, and other cool artsy things) through the eyes of two analytical thinkers with degrees in theatre and music. We want to encourage ourselves and others to expand their artistry, explore creativity, and engage industry. Oh, and every episode, we sample a different brew of coffee as we talk, and give you our unfiltered opinion on it. Get it? Unfiltered? Lol. Anyways, we’ve got episodes coming out every Tuesday. So grab your mug, and let’s get talkin!
