🎶 Reflecting on the 2024 Grammy Performance: Honoring Tradition while Embracing Innovation 🎤 Last night's Grammy performance featuring Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman showcased the beauty of collaboration and the importance of paying homage to musical pioneers while carving out your own unique path. In their performance, we witnessed a seamless fusion of Chapman's timeless classic "Fast Car" with Combs' contemporary sound. It was a reminder that we can learn so much from those who paved the way before us, while still infusing our own style and personality into our craft. As professionals, we can apply this principle to our own careers, whether in music or any other field. By studying the successes and failures of those who came before us, we gain valuable insights and inspiration that can help us navigate our own journey. At the same time, we must never lose sight of our individuality and the unique contributions we can bring to the table. So here's to embracing the wisdom of the past while fearlessly forging ahead with our own creative vision. Let's continue to learn from the legends and legends-in-the-making, honoring their legacy while writing our own chapter in the story of music and innovation. 🌟🎶 #Grammys2024 #MusicalInspiration #Innovation #Legacy #Collaboration P.S. Who else LOL'd at Jay-Z's "When I get nervous I tell the truth" comment?? 😂 P.S.S. 📸 Cred: @NYT

Okay. So I wanted to share some thoughts on the #Grammys. I stopped watching them years ago but when I scrolled through my Instagram I saw tons of clips on my timeline so it felt like I watched. 1. We must divest from the idea of celebrity. And divest from the idea that these "awards" hold value when they've consistently shown racial bias and inconsistencies. 2. I appreciate Jay-Z for what he said during this speech about how wild it is that the most decorated Grammy winner (Beyonce) has yet to win Album of the Year. That math doesn't math. 3. What didn't make sense to me is if you think the Grammys don't matter or shouldn't matter, why even show up in the first place? The Grammys and any other ⚪️ award/accolade only matter because we place value on it. I think the Grammy's decided to give Jay that award to bait him into coming since they probably know Jay and Bey wouldn't go under normal circumstances since they are already hip to Grammy's foolery. 4. I wish more artists, Jay-Z included, used the opportunity to say "Free 🇵🇸" and acknowledge the current *jenoside* taking place. How are you upset about inequities within the music industry but cannot simultaneously acknowledge the oppression that folks in G@za are currently experiencing? 5. There is a whole 'nother analysis that must be done about how the music industry and society as a whole infantilizes Taylor Swift and how her ⚪️ness shields her in comparison to others, but that is a discussion for another day. Did you watch the Grammys (aka the Scammy's 😂)? What were your thoughts?

The recent remarks by the Grammy Chairman regarding the Afrobeat category have exacerbated existing frustrations within the music community. For a process aiming for genuine authenticity, the identities and qualifications of the "certified judges in the USA" who voted remain unclear. Their apparent lack of understanding of Afrobeat's significance and nuanced elements raises serious concerns. Dismissing the public outcry by invoking subjectivity merely adds insult to injury. Voting, similar to the judicial system, shouldn't be solely subjective. Concrete evidence of an artist's work and its impact deserves thorough review and assessment by qualified, unbiased individuals with a deep understanding of the genre. Anything less undermines the credibility and relevance of the Grammys. And to those who say people who have objections to the outcome are sore losers, I sincerely want you to experience such a situation where you have worked for years and at the point of you getting rewarded, it is handed over to someone else entirely. That way you begin to see clearly why this is an issue. No hate here but voting can't be subjective not in this case,

Happy Monday! The last week or so I’ve had this thing running through my mind. This will be the first in a series of 4 weekly thoughts that come from a recent podcast of an interview with Vince Gill (Stephan Hogan's – Creative Evolution). For anyone who’s not in the know, Vince is a country musician (guitar player, singer, songwriter) and has won 22 Grammy Awards, eight Academy of Country Music awards, and 18 Country Music Association awards. Not exactly a lightweight. In this interview Vince talks about playing with the Eagles for the last 8 years and shares the following story (background: Vince is warming up at sound check and is singing one of his own songs): Don Henley: what is that song? It’s gorgeous. Vince Gill: It’s a song I had out 15 years ago. Don: we need to work that up and do it. Vince: With all due respect, I’d rather not. Don: Why? Vince: I don’t want to give these people one more reason to not like me. I don’t want anybody sitting out there saying I didn’t come here to hear Vince’s songs, I came here to hear the Eagles. Don: I respect that. That is powerful. What a beautiful example of commitment to purpose over ego. Vince could easily have jumped at the chance to play his own music in front of thousands of people every night. Probably would have sold a few more records, too. Instead, he said, “All due respect, I’d rather not.” Each of us is playing some sort of role on a team almost all the time. It made me pause and ask myself how often I’m letting ego get in the way of the purpose. This week my challenge to myself and each of you: let’s look at our role on various teams and ask ourselves if we are appropriately setting our egos aside to support the purpose. If we’re not, let’s take the steps to make it happen. Make it a great week! #mondaythought #continuousimprovement

Madonna threw a free concert in celebration of her 40th year in music. And 1.6 Million people attended. That alone is a pretty staggering display of "star power" and influence. But that's not the wildest part of the story. In bringing that many people out to the streets of Rio De Janeiro (where the concert was held) authorities estimate that Madonna helped inject £46M into the local economy. Whenever we see things like this in the news, it's easy to look at the surface-level headline and say "That's cool". But if you take a second to think about the broader impact, things like this should be given a much bigger spotlight. Free concerts and events held by global stars have a far bigger positive impact on people's lives than they get credit for. In this example, approximately £46M has gone into a city, funding small businesses and the local government etc. Perhaps there's an argument to say more brands and influencers should explore free in-person events, like this 🤔 But either way, I think it's clear that it deserves a little acknowledgement.

Don’t try to be Pink if you’re actually Adele. Um… what? Let me explain. Last weekend my partner and I attended a fabulous music fest in our home town. The talent was absolutely phenomenal. And the styles varied greatly. It was an A-Class event and we’re already looking forward to buying weekend passes for next summer’s festival. But that’s not really the point of my post. Here is my point: A few times, while dancing along with the lesser-experienced musicians, and with one in particular, we noticed something was “off”, despite the obvious musicality and talent we were witnessing. It came down to authenticity and playing to one’s superpowers. I finally name it: “this person is trying to be Pink when they actually are more like Adele.” And there it is. I think many of us have been there in our career. Maybe you’re there now. You have all the component parts. Things *should* be taking off. But you’re stalled. Things aren’t quite clicking. People aren’t quite connecting with you. That’s when we need to come back to ourselves. We need to really question how we’re showing up out there. Are we living true to our own values and superpowers? Are we being honest about our vulnerabilities, and letting them be, rather than trying to cover them up with lipstick and glitter? Here’s what I know: when we show up as ourselves, grounded in our own values, owning our true superpowers, and naming our vulnerabilities for what they are, that’s when magic happens. That’s when you will find your niche. That’s true leadership. Regardless of the industry in which you “play”. It may sound simple. But it takes bold self-awareness, questioning, and emotional maturity. And it’s worth it. #connectedleadership

This article illustrates an important truth: These awards shows aren't exactly about who's a better singer/performer/entertainer. They're about branding. Say what you want about Taylor Swift's music, but no one can deny that her marketing and social media success are off the charts. So, what is it that gets you a Grammy? Maybe it's a strong POV in all your work. Maybe it's great artistry. Maybe it's the cultivation of a brand that resonates with a wide array of people. #Grammys #TaylorSwift #Branding #Marketing

Every person or business in the world should have a community. The thing is, people don't want just to be educated anymore. They want to be part of a community. Take Richard Branson as an example. In 1970 he opened a music store called Virgin Records. But if you read his book, it was way more than a store. It was a place for people to gather and listen to music. It even had a lounge. A true community. Now, compare this with a text-based community How do we expect to have the same level of engagement? That's why many people are moving to GoBrunch. To get the feeling of a real music store. Let's create one together? Cheers. #community
