  1. SALES on friendship, knowing your worth, and growing as an independent band

    SALES on friendship, knowing your worth, and growing as an independent band

    On today’s episode, I sit down with one of my favorite bands: Orlando-based band SALES @sales, comprising of Lauren Morgan and Jordan Shih. We talk about how they’ve navigated the music industry as an independent band since 2012 through shared trust, friendship and open communication to work through growing pains and celebrate wins as a duo. We talk about the origin of their band name, how hip hop has influenced their business approach and creative process, how it’s important to know your worth and not to compare yourself to others, working through different relationships and more. In celebration of the one year anniversary of their latest project forever & ever this week, we also dive into how some of my favorite songs from the album came together. I first met SALES when I interviewed them for an emerging artist research project around 2014-2015 back during my SoundCloud days. I fell in love with their music immediately--their music feels open yet cozy and intimate and evokes a lot of different emotions. Once I reached out to connect, we hit it off immediately, so it was an honor to have them as guests on the show to hear about their progression from first meeting in Latin class in high school to continuously creating and building their SALES UNIVERSE to being one of, if not the only independent band, to have played Coachella this year.

    Tiffany Gouché on learning to practice self-love and acceptance to create with an open heart

    “It’s my responsibility to be me.” “The universe isn’t set up to harm you. It’s set up to help you.” Singer, songwriter and producer Tiffany Gouché about the path she’s carving in her own time and sound. We talk about the journey she’s been on, coming into standing in her truth as a queer black woman and defying stereotypes in the R&B and soul music space. We talk about how she’s come into her own artistry, from being part of the gospel choir to learning how to play piano and produce first before gaining courage to write and sing for herself as an artist and other artists like Lalah Hathaway. We talk about past traumas, including an incredibly poignant, sad memory Tiffany recalls that played a major role in why she didn’t initially pursue singing. We talk about how she transforms negative self-talk and fears into self-love, acceptance, compassion and confidence through her reliance on her spirituality; navigating noise on social media; the importance of being aware when the ego is running the show; taking time with your art and music to not make “microwave music" and ultimately creating from truth, love and an open heart. This episode is a must listen for anyone searching for more confidence and trust within oneself and one's art and creativity. Thank you Tiffany for sharing your vulnerability and honesty on this episode. Follow and listen to Tiffany at @tiffanygouche. Photo credit: Rikkí Wright
