Staying On Beat: David Chiverton Shares The Hidden Battles of Being a Successful Musician

What's the TRUE cost of being a top creative? And what untold struggles are you going to face as you achieve your God-given dreams?  

In this episode, renowned drummer and educator David Chiverton returns to The God and Gigs Show to share why being a successful musician is sometimes overrated, and why he prioritizes family and personal growth more than major musical opportunities. 

With honesty and transparency, this top drummer who has worked with Sheila E., Leslie Odom, Jr. , Jon Secada, Maxwell and dozens of other A-list artists explains how he's kept his faith and family foremost so that he never misaligns his vision or mission as a musician.

Listen to see how a successful creative keeps his roles in the proper perspective.
