”So...You Want To Be A Musician?” Podcast with Nick D’Virgilio - Ep. # 1: Nick D’Virgilio

I am very excited to bring you this podcast. Episode number 1 is me...NDV. The reason for this is to set up what the podcast is all about. It will also give you an idea of what kinds of questions and topics I will be bringing up with the artists that join me, and give you my take on those topics.  I have been blessed to have had a long career in the music business and I have gone through a lot to get to where I am today. Navigating personal relationships, family dynamics, business, my own doubts and misgivings, and so much more. It can be a wild ride playing music for a living. The actual music is only one part of the whole picture.  In this first episode I talk about how my career has put my marriage to the test. I give tips and advice on how to deal with the uglier side of the music business. I talk about the only time I've even been fired from a gig and more.  If you are thinking of making music your life's work, or if you just like to hear about what it is like on the inside, then I hope you will join me for this first episode and then every other Tuesday. Every artist has their own story, attitudes, and desires. It is fascinating to hear.

I understand the unfair firing. Ive only been fired once...a fellow of a same faith, was having me hide money (cash sales) from the Govt... He didnt like me calling him out on it, A fellow mormon. Broke my trust and heart in his character.... a human who got greedy. I gotta know who treated you wrong...you so did not deserve that, its ALL on him Nick. Leave it with him, forgive and let it stay with him. Thanks for being a goid man, as well as an incredibly talented musician. Light!

I did dream to play...for me, the grand illusion. I was GREEN for years watching my musical heros... I finally at David Lanz, watching him play Dark Horse... my heart exploded with a realization...’my joy is in seeing those who are the best musicians and seeing thier passion...i feel what they are feeling, and that makes me soooo happy. Anothers joy. Sharing what you create, i get it. I feel it, deeply. ( I learned I’m an HSP / Empath) I feel others emotions. I am so excited for you Nick!
