Great chat this week that I think will be really inspiring to any songwriter and / or indie artist.

This conversation covers: 

  • why Jordy's debut album is actually his 5th album
  • why taking control of your own music career is so important (especially if you're independent or just starting out)
  • how playing live helped guide the production of his album “Dark in the City”
  • how he gets booked for colleges around the country
  • his philosophy of finding fans over finding venues
  • the crucial difference between “Fan Gigs” vs. “Money Gigs” (and how both are important)
  • his driving force that inspires him to keep creating music

and a LOT more!
