5 out of 6 reasons are musicians’ fault, Tommy Darker, the guest of the first We Spin Recipes podcast episode says. Tommy is a musician, “thinker about the future of music,” and founder of Think Beyond The Band and Darker Music Talks. In this show we discuss his latest article, titled “Why do musicians always feel disappointed about their career?”

Among the topics covered on the podcast is the Medium platform, setting goals, sounding like human when communicating online, being persistent (as in – not quitting too soon), seeking for the knowledge before the tools, and rethinking the “business” side of your music career.
