A Decade Of Tour Stories And Mental Health On The Road | Josh Balz | Motionless in White Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

In this episode of Project Freelance, I "sit down" (skype) with Josh Balz, a 28 year old entrepreneur. He is the creator and owner of the two Strange & Unusual Oddities Parlors in Pensylvania; one in Philadelphia and the other in Kingston. He is mostly known for his time in the band, Motionless in White, as a keyboardist. And while Josh has no professional training in classical piano, he picked it up and ran with it. He left everything behind him and grew up on the road. I met Josh in 2011 at Vans Warped Tour 2011, where I was invited to join the band on stage to join them in singing/screaming in their song Abigail, which I had covered on Youtube, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/ZL930LFmhTM Find him at Instagram.com/joshbalz For classes/booking: http://justtheletterk.com/booking Get Socialistic with me: 🚴Come chase me: Instagram.com/kenagonio For Photo/Film: Deals on Adobe Products: goo.gl/v35dPQ My Favorite Photo Contest Sites: Viewbug goo.gl/pH2Vpq --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/projectfreelance/message

Vero - True Social | What Is It | How To Use It Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

This app will give creators the opportunity to actually reach their audience, without being drowned by ads or getting fucked from analytics. This means not only will your followers and friends be sent your post WHEN you post it, but you can also sell things through the app, without your users having to first click through an advertisement, or go to your "link in bio." Let's face it, we are all sick of saying that, so thanks Vero for making this app! Haha By giving artists and creators the ability to sell to their audience directly, means that we will have higher sale rates. It's a no brainer. So, everyone, calm down and check that box for those terms and conditions that you didn't actually even care to read, and join us on Vero. Find me K Enagonio.

"I now work with amazing clients and am forever grateful for who is in my life today and the opportunities that have made themselves available. It all started in 2003 for me, here we are 15 years later. I just want to help people." My guest this week is Jordan Grossman, Jordan and I discuss the idea that failure can be a good, or even life changing thing. No matter what peril you face, you have to learn how to become comfortable failing. You can't grow if you don't fail. Failure teaches you what not to fuck up on next time. Love failure, and if you don't, go fail some more!

Why "the scene" is dying // Jon Wolfe Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

He had to sneak out from under his police officer mother's nose to go on tour. Inspired by acts on MTV, VH1, and more, he joined band in school, and then went on to join every band under the sun. All he wanted to do was play videogames, make music, and go to shows. In this episode we talk about the importance of supporting local bands to keep the scene alive, touring with bands as a hired gun, dealing with their bullshit, your own bullshit, and having to occupy the same space for 23 hours a day. Wolfe has dealt with some seriously awful people in his career, but he's also gained friends and memories that will last an eternity.

Black Veil Brides Fans Are Crazy - Stories From The Bodyguard // Matt Yanni Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

Crazy fans attacking artists, coping with the mental strain of being away from home for months at a time, struggling to make a living, the the love for travel, music, and unforgettable memories that sitting behind a desk doesn't offer; these are some of the aspects of living the...#tourlife. In episode 17 of Project Freelance, Yanni and I discuss what it's like to be not only on tour with a band, but to be their protector from not only crazy fans, but also people who would potentially try to harm or harass his clients. However, Yanni has been working with Andy Black and Black Veil Brides since 2011, so he has learned how to balance protecting with being respectful of his clients' space. We talk about everything from crazy fan stories to the challenges with touring non stop, touring overseas, and basically being dropped into a war zone, otherwise known as Warped Tour.

Girl's On Tour Ft. Lindsey Lerner of Level Exchange Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

The worst thing that someone can ever tell you is "no." With that being said, fuck that. No stands for "New Opportunity! In the touring world, it's important to realise that you are more valuable to a band if you have more than one skill to offer. Lindsey explains why this is so important and how she often takes on many more roles than what she is asked to do. Her experience on the road added an additional dynamic to her already diverse roster of talents. She and I will share with you just how important it is to make yourself an asset on the road if you want to STAY on the road.

Documenting Life On Tour with Bryce Hall Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

From shooting his first show, which happened to be Vans Warped Tour, to shooting under Buzznet, by posting content onto Flikr, this once aspiring music photographer now tours full-time as a professional content creator. In this episode, content creator Bryce Hall and I get down to the nitty gritty parts of the music photography industry and touring life. From people walking onto our tour busses to working with horrible clients, this episode of Project Freelance is definitely one of my favourites, which is why I forced Bryce to talk to me for an hour.

How Memphis May Fire Grew Feat. Matty Mullins Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

EPISODE 1 OF SEASON 2 IS HERE! AND! SURPRISE! EVERY EPISODE OF THIS SEASON HAS A SPECIAL GUEST! Up first, Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire, and owner of On Pointe Pomade. In this episode he and I cover everything from holding down a real job while trying to pursue a successful touring career, to dealing with financial struggles, relationship compromises, and more! Matty not only gives you an insight on how to navigate the music world, but he also teaches me quite a bit, which has been a huge goal of mine. I remember a few years back I had a client that told me, "if you want to become a master, you must learn from a master." Now, I know Matty is too humble to consider himself a master of anything, but I think that I can speak for everyone that listens to this episode, or has the opportunity to meet Matty, when I say that Mullins is definitely a master of his trade.

Show notes

If you're new to photography, videography, and/or other creative freelancing work, you might be wondering what kind of gear you should buy. In this podcast I talk about the perks of buying used gear over new gear, and vice versa, where you can get cheap camera gear both at a brick and mortar camera store or online. I also share some of the top camera rental sites with you. Just because you're not rich doesn't mean you can't become a creator. You're an artist, so be an artist and get creative!
