If you are a parent, or thinking of becoming one, then Shotgun Tori’s new podcast series “Story Podcast” is for you, particularly if you are in any of the creative industries!
As independent artists, navigating a career in music has never been straightforward. And when you add children to the mix, the balancing act becomes a whole lot more complex.
In this 10-part series of eye opening conversations with parents in the music industry (including the likes of Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Zolani Mahola, Siyabonga Mthembu [The Brother Moves On], Shane Durrant [Desmond and the Tutus] and Tamara Dey), they talk about the highs and the lows of parenting, the impact of it on a music career, and the support systems necessary to make it all possible. We also discuss ways in which the industry could provide more support for its artists.
Tune in for a window into how these 10 artists are finding ways to make it work.
These interviews are beautiful and inspiring and really worth a listen. Whether you’re a musician or not, the issues that arise are universal and relevant to everybody.
