Bobby Alu On Making Music

Bobby is an extremely talented multi instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter and was such a blast to have on the show. We go into Bobby's process of making music and all that comes with it from touring, to recording, playing gigs live vs in the studio, instruments, gear and beyond. We get a special bonus round of process too as Bobby breaks down his process and principles of how to nap well. Bobby takes us through his love for the process and how he went from being in 12 bands, busking on the streets of Canada to touring across the world with Xavier Rudd. We talk about how to breath and lean into pressure and anxiety, slowing things down, enjoying the process and having respect for the long game. You're gonna want to stick around till the end of this one as Bobby not only shares some behind the scenes voice memos and works in progress but he also graces us with an incredible live performance.
