Happy Friday!
Here's another episode for your weekend listening pleasure.
279 Alyssa Trahan β Moving to Nashville, Sound Engineering, Endorsements, Sponsors, Crowdfunding, Marketing, Merch, and the Biggest Lesson She'd Learned in Nashville π§
Alyssa Trahan is the featured artist in this Rewind episode. Whatβs a Rewind episode? Itβs a previously published episode, one of my favorites and merits re-publishing. I also give these episodes a fresh edit, which means you will find it even more enjoyable from a listening perspective.
Nashville based singer songwriter Alyssa Trahan first appeared in episode 18 (2017), which is remarkable because the depth of our conversation rivals anything Iβve done to date, as do the accomplishments Alyssa had made at her then age of 22.
Topics covered in our conversation include why she moved to Nashville from Rochester NY, her latest single (at the time), sound engineering, endorsements, sponsors, crowdfunding, her education, gigs that pay the bills, business and marketing, merch, and the biggest lesson sheβd learned to date.
Find all things Alyssa Trahan at AlyssaTrahan.com.
