No. 43: Being an Indie Music Artist + Recreating Yourself FOR Yourself + “How I Do” turned Twenty w/Res + A GIVEAWAY

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI:  THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way…
_________

Friends & Kin, in this episode I get to sit in conversation with one of my homegirls.  My friend, artist, singer, musician, DJ – RES. If you are a lover of music and you were here for the start of the Neo-Soul/Alternative R&B movement of the early 2000s, (and are at least ALMOST 40 years old) you should be familiar with her debut album, "HOW I DO".

Res and I talk candidly about being a creative, the difference between being an artist signed to a major label versus being an indie artist – the pros and cons. We also discuss what she is up to now and the plans for her upcoming album, "RESet,  along with so much more!

You want to make sure you listen to this episode because there is a GIVEAWAY associated with this episode and it will happen QUICK! If you live in the DMV area, Res will be performing at CITY WINERY in DC on Saturday, May 21st.  I will be there! The giveaway is for two free tickets to the show.  Please make sure to follow me AND Res on Instagram (see below for links) and enter the giveaway! I hope to see you at the show & if you're there, come say, "Heeeeeeey!".

From this episode's, "WE GOT TO DO BETTER" segment:

“I am even more certain that to create dangerously is also to create fearlessly, boldly embracing the public and private terrors that would silence us, then bravely moving forward even when it feels as though we are chasing or being chased by ghosts”
– Edwidge Danticat
