On this Matt Stevens Interview: His WORST gig ever, how failing an audition led to him accomplishing far more than he ever would have imagined, including 2 scholarships at Berklee, moving to New York City, and touring the world playing music - before he even graduated from Berklee. Two most important things he learned, early on… How random Instagram posts turned into his latest Album, Mexican food, letting go of things he can’t control, being an optimist, staying power, taking time off to raise his son & more. GREAT convo, very candid and upbeat!
