Metal Mastermind Jason Stallworth and Ken Candelas

In episode 64, we have a special guest who is dear to our hearts, Lindsay Schoolcraft, former Cradle of Filth, and now a successful independent solo artist. 

We (Jason and Ken) met Lindsay in the Elite Savvy Musician Academy (by Leah McHenry). 

Lindsay shares what it was like being with such a successful black metal band along with the challenges of touring and workload. She also takes us through her journey of becoming an independent artist and what it takes to make quality music and build your brand as a musician.

In episode 62, we face the things that may be holding us back from being our best and going to the next level. We also talk about sub genres and not overthinking as you're writing and playing music.

Just play what comes out instead of forcing it to be something specific.

And through that, we talk about finding your own musical style and how that can be a combination of many styles.
