Send Steve a Text MessageMusic is beyond experiencing what’s on the surface, beyond what is written, it is beyond hearing alone. When you are able to embody music to who you really are is art itself, being able to experience it with personal insights and experiences makes music even more meaningful and authentic. There are so many tools and theories out there to help you connect with music, but these tools and theories can not really connect you in depth with what the music is all about. But there is also a wonderful way to share your art and music with others through certain platforms where you can be genuinely listened to. In today’s episode, we are joined by Owen Grover.
