Is songwriting more than just something you do? Is music a way of life? How does your music influence your lifestyle? How does your lifestyle influence your music? Do you experience the same sense of creativity and adventure offstage as you do onstage?

Artists are often associated with certain lifestyles and they are not necessarily expected to be in sync with the rhythms and habits of mainstream society.  But what exactly makes up an artistic lifestyle? Is it the hours you keep? The friends you hang out with? The clothes you wear? The town you live in? If you look closely, you will probably find that the lifestyle and the music of the artist are intimately connected and that there are as many lifestyles as there are lives (just as there are as many musics as there are musicians).  So why is so little attention given to Conscious Lifestyle Design?

Join this SOS podcast as we begin to explore four foundational aspects of crafting a sustainable artistic lifestyle. 

This episode is an overview of the upcoming “Musical Lifestyle” series of podcasts.
