015 - Enda Gallery: Accountant to Musician & Producer (+ My Hitherto Unknown Relative) Paths Podcast
-
- Performing Arts
A conversation about Enda’s life. This was an exciting one for me because Enda is both a perfect guest for this podcast - he initially set out on a career in accountancy but quickly realised that he should become a musician instead and is now really gathering steam in terms of public acclaim for his music - but also he is a relative of mine. We share a great great grandfather from Ennistymon in Co Clare. Before this interview we had literally never met or spoken before. You’ll hear more about our Gallery connection early in the interview and from there you’ll hear all about Enda’s genuinely inspiring story of leaving accountancy to study music, a bold move to Berlin to give it a crack in an exciting and artist-friendly city and much more about his trajectory since then including his thoughts on the fear people experience in trying to be creative, the effect of meditation on his life and how he set up his own music label.
