"Being a musician these days is like an extreme sport..." S3 EP01 with Nancy Ruth Can't Find My Way Home...
-
- Music Interviews
In this episode of Can’t Find My Way Home, I was joined by Nancy Ruth.
Nancy is a singer, songwriter, composer, and recording artist. Her Spanish roots eventually led her to Málaga, Spain, where she has been based for the past 20 years or so. An early love of jazz was ignited by family jam sessions while growing up in British Columbia, Canada and she went on to study music at the Royal Conservatory of Music, Douglas College, and Berklee College of Music.
Nancy talks us through her musical influences, the changes in the music business, and why there’s so much more you need to know to survive in today’s marketplace. We talk about the power of the riff, the pros and cons of monetizing content, her own music (of course) and the concept behind it, and why we should all be adopting the Alexander Technique.
There’s musical adventures in Morocco, a who’s who in Flamenco, performing on cruise ships (it’s not all plain sailing…), and getting the gig to play for the Royal Family in Brunei.
In the Top 5, there’s Taylor Swift, 80’s Rock, jam tunes, playing an international jazz festival in Senegal, as well as a hot list of who we should be listening to….All this and why being a musician these days is like an extreme sport.
Let’s get right to it…Nancy Ruth.
