Posted on by Leave a comment

Daisy Sellas and Brittany Bishop are the co-founders of Anthems Against Abuse, a Nashville-based non-profit dedicated to providing support and resources to victims of domestic violence and other forms of abuse. Their flagship event — a music showcase featuring all female-fronted artists — is in its second year, taking place at The Coliseum in Nashville on Saturday, June 14.

Daisy and Brittany share the story behind the organization, and we take a deep dive into why it’s important to identify and stop signs of abuse in their tracks.

The Realest Interview I’ve Ever Done!

Posted on by Leave a comment

I had the chance to return to The Poptimist podcast this week, hosted by my friend Taylor Berryman. One thing I admire about Taylor is his fearlessness to approach topics within the music industry that everyone’s *thinking* about — but hesitates to *talk* about.

We showed no hesitation on this episode! In this conversation, we cover a variety of topics informed by the Nashville music industry and our individual creative journeys, including:

  • The importance of building your creative ecosystem from your own true values.
  • The Art of Frame Control: How to keep your cool in times of conflict and high-pressure moments.
  • Too many Homelanders, not enough heroes: The difference between living in service, versus using service as a mask for self-interest.
  • And, of course… a discussion about the 2025 Major League Baseball season!

The Most Powerful Duo in Indie Rock (ft. Lips Speak Louder)

Posted on by Leave a comment

Lips Speak Louder rocks so hard that they only need two members — guitarist/vocalist Rachel Brandsness and drummer Angie Lese — to melt faces. The Nashville-based duo has gained traction being their raw, unapologetic selves — and they make the music to match!

Learn about how Lips Speak Louder has burst onto the scene — and discover what we can expect from their forthcoming album, Consolation Prize — on this week’s edition of The Quinn Spinn!

Community, Artistpreneurship, and Releasing the Anchors

Posted on by Leave a comment

I want to thank Kevin Cobus and The Indie Distributor — the wonderful folks behind Gussapolooza, one of our favorite festivals here at UMC — for this spirited conversation on The Indie Distributor podcast.

This conversation took place during the #RoadtoSXSW, and takes a deep dive into the importance of collaboration within a creative ecosystem (like the one we’re building here). We also touch on several of my 60+ Lessons from the Creative Journey, and highlight the importance of showing up for ourselves — while setting healthy boundaries.
