When Anissa completed the new lineup of Sunset'99 (Episode 34), I was very impressed with her energy and how the band members talked about her. She is an energetic singer with very catchy ideas, and I discuss jazz, stage presence, and respect for women in the music scene with her.   Instagram   Sunset'99     Contact Podcast: musictoliveforwithshanti@gmail.com Instagram Website   Collaborations: Till Deaf Recordings Sketchy Solutions Knives Out Record Caosart Ink

Sometimes having a fresh opinion from a young musician is what is needed. Nico was kind enough to share his view regarding the contemporary beatdown and metalcore scene, discussing moshing, respect, and straight edge.    Instagram   Jorelia  Xno crutchX     Contact Podcast: musictoliveforwithshanti@gmail.com Instagram Website   Collaborations: Till Deaf Recordings Sketchy Solutions Knives Out Record Caosart Ink

The passion that certain persons have for their profession is contagious: Annika writes online articles reviewing various bands, well-known and underground.

I don't remember whether I was on Instagram or TikTok, I just know that I discovered Jet Jag this way and fell in love with their sound. I was extremely happy when their singer, Pete Zen, agreed to record this episode in which we talk about our passion for melodic punk rock and how social media is helping new bands grow. Also about how it is crucial to rely on a producer even in an era in which you could make everything yourself. Recorded by his RV was an episode that put a big smile on my face.    Website   Instagram   Mail   Jet Jag Instragram   Contact Podcast: musictoliveforwithshanti@gmail.com Instagram Website   Collaborations: Till Deaf Recordings Sketchy Solutions Knives Out Record Caosart Ink

The talented Spanish saxophonist and composer talks about himself in this episode. He takes me to discover a new dimension, that of electronic music and his ability to create new environments and colors creatively and musically.

And here we are at the first episode of 2023.  I decided to devote this episode from a very important topic as the organization of security, that of the audience and artists, a subject that is often underestimated.  In 2022 I attended several events and was able to observe different situations: fortunately everything always went well but it made me think.  This is where the intention of this dialogue with Giordano Ferrari comes from, with whom we tackle some practical examples and find out what the cornerstones of good organization are.  I really hope that this episode can help promoters think about how to organize themselves and make the right investments in specialized personnel.  Giordano Ferrari is: Head of Security, Locarno Film Festival  Head of Security, JAZZASCONA  Instructor and Gr Chief, DELTAgroup Security  Instructor, Secoach GmbH Hitzkirch  Captain a.i.

Being a producer means many things, and perhaps these days, bombarded by so much information that we find online, the verosignificance of it has been lost. I have the pleasure of talking to Swiss producer Noom about his career, his stylistic choices, his travels (especially the one to South Africa) and how important it is to be able to step out of one's "comfort zone."  Meet Noom on social media : https://linktr.ee/Noom.Musique   Want to follow Noom's musical adventure? https://www.youtube.com/c/NoomMusique https://www.instagram.com/noom.musique/ https://www.tiktok.com/@noom.musique?   Want to hear more of his music? https://open.spotify.com/artist/23zGY... https://soundcloud.com/user-809004032   Want to know more about Noom? https://noom-music.com   Subscribe to his official playlist on Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Fb...

I have always thought that the relationship between mind and body is fundamental: whatever our goal is. I have often heard of musicians having problems with back or limb pain, and I personally have suffered from back problems. It was not always the consequence of uncomfortable positions or because of excessive weights but also due to stress I had at work. In this episode I talk with Thomas Stauffer about this ever-present issue in the hope that I can give an excellent perspective on the issue.  Remember, "Mens sana in corpore sano."    Thomas Stauffer Website To The Limit Gym    Contact the Podcast: musictoliveforwithshanti@gmail.com Instagram Website   Collaborations: Till Deaf Recordings Sketchy Solutions Knives Out Record Caosart Ink

This is a special episode: I had the opportunity to record my podcast in a professional studio thanks to the collaboarzio e and peroduction of Mitchbox Productions.  With me was the Swiss band Sunset'99, which is about to launch its first album.

The current world, as well as the artistic one, is changing rapidly due to the pandemic and other factors. And the economic aspect is always prevalent: many artists and workers in the entertainment world have wondered how to manage their businesses. I thought that proposing an episode inspired by the "cryptocurrency" theme would be very ultile and I turned to two people I trust: Raymond Tognola and Pablo Sanchez.

I met Laurin through another friend of the podcast (shout out to Logan Miano) and after enjoying the music of her band, Steel Circuit, I decided she would be the perfect guest for an episode. I definitely wanted the feminine opinion regarding the metal environment and the passion for literature that influences the writing of her lyrics. Together we also discuss what it's like to live in the state of Georgia and her influences.    Laurin Newsome:  Instagram   Steel Circuit  Instagram Facebook  Spotify Bandcamp Band Email steelcircuitband@gmail.com   Contact the Podcast: musictoliveforwithshanti@gmail.com Instagram Website   Collaborations: Till Deaf Recordings Sketchy Solutions Knives Out Record Caosart Ink

A year ago I was looking for support to regain balance in my professional life and my daily routine. I discovered that Chris Robson, charismatic lead singer in the London hardcore band TRC, was working as a personal development coach. I contacted him immediately and made great strides in my profession. An incredible experience! Chris and I discuss how important it is to work on yourself, figure out what your goals are, reinvent yourself and how important it is to work with an expert like him. Chris is also the host of the podcast “Forward Motion" thought it was very helpful for several musicians.    Chris Robson: https://linktr.ee/itschrisrobson   Contact the Podcast: musictoliveforwithshanti@gmail.com Instagram Website   Collaborations: Till Deaf Recordings Sketchy Solutions Knives Out Record Caosart Ink

During my studies in musicology, I also took studies in religious studies. A subject that goes hand in hand with the study of medieval music and of great interest in relation to literature. In that period I was able to analyze the relationship between metal music and faith. I talk about it with my good friend Fer Durán, a student of theology and a lover of metalcore music. Together we discuss this interesting relationship and explain the concept of "heavy worship".    Fer Duran Instagram   Contact the Podcast: musictoliveforwithshanti@gmail.com Instagram Website   Collaborations: Till Deaf Recordings Sketchy Solutions Knives Out Record Caosart Ink
