It was a real pleasure to re-connect with Drummers - David Segal and Joe Hardy after first meeting at the NAMM show, and recently for Pizza in Las Vegas. Both their individual and collective strength, attitude, and work at Can Do Musos are very inspiring for me. I hope you also receive something from listening to this 30 min podcast.
For context - below is the Can-Do Musos Motto, and the meaning of Musos.
OUR DISABILITY DOES NOT DEFINE US...
OUR PASSION FOR MUSIC DOES!!!

UK R&B/Soul singer Ashaine White joins me from her home in London to talk about her new release, being a busy vocalist in the UK, working as a music journalist, and much more...
Ashaine brings the musicality back into singing with her nods to jazz harmony and a spell-binding but moody approach to Neo-soul. Inspired by the likes of Jeff Buckley, Lianne La Havas, and D'Angelo, Ashaine describes herself as a Grunge-Soul artist, taking the fundamental approaches to jazz singing and adding a modern spin.

On this episode of Switcher Chats is my good friend Christa Renwall - what a powerhouse lady, multi-talented and passionate in helping other artists realize their full potential. Her natural ability to mentor and seek out tangible rock-solid action plans, and witnessing the devastating impact Covid 19 emergency has brought on the Finnish arts sector, has led Christa to continue her advocacy by choosing to be politically active. Striving to make the Finnish arts environment a positive place to grow both as an artist as well as be beneficial for all parties.
Listen in as Christa shares really helpful tips for artists to move forward in their music careers. I do give Christa a little surprise when I play a track from way back and when we first got to know each other. Christa of course is also a fantastic musician/singer and sang on two occasions for the Eurovision contest.
I recommend your find out more about this consummate professional and who knows she might be able to help you!

I was looking forward to chatting with Rebecca, especially about her new debut album 'Love Life Choices' - Although having listened to her singing and knowing some of her musical family histories. It becomes all apparent why she sounds so polished for her age.
Having active encouragement from an uncle - Steve Angel the drummer who played with Jimi Hendrix. Plus, Rebecca's mom and dad, Linda and Dennis Angel, also musical in their own right actively encouraged her to pursue he dreams of being a professional singer. You then connect this all with a musical legend producer and mentor - Jason Miles and it all makes sense.
Prior to this debut album, Rebecca has a growing list of major music accolades/awards to her credit. Winning New Artist Breakout Single in 2020 with the 'For What It's Worth'
Love Life Choices features a roll call of some of today’s most versatile, intuitive players, who as an ensemble brings out Rebecca’s greatest strengths. Steeped in jazz, her skills as an improviser are especially potent. Just go over to her website and listen for yourself.

(screengrab from the original live stream using Switcher Studio IOS App) My good friend in London, UK - Fiona Ross, and I had a chance to catch up. Mostly, I wanted to share with all of you how totally amazing this multi-talented individual is, and for you to hear it directly from Fiona with some prompting from me. She tends to rave on about new and upcoming musicians - constantly encouraging and supporting the younger generations.
Fiona is constantly on the go. It's like she has some secret access to NASA rocket fuel. In fact, I don't think she's actually ever stopped since she started at 2-years old.
Listen in and enjoy finding out about this really authentic, fascinating advocate of so....many people. Have a look at her website - especially her BIO and see some of the well-known pop stars she's had a hand in helping on the road to global fame.
Please check out her website @ FionaRoss.Co.UK - also her Social-Media channels.https://open.spotify.com/artist/59lPcyDIZJxmRqatvAjct8?play=truehttps://twitter.com/fifrosshttps://www.facebook.com/fionarossmusichttps://www.instagram.com/fifi_ross/https://www.youtube.com/user/fionaross/videos
