Manage episode 351776073 series 2889196
I have been listening to today’s guest’s music all the time - such as while I drive and while I work out - and I feel that he is changing the music industry. Welcome Akira the Don to the podcast where he and I discuss his creation process, how to create meaning in your life from meaning in music, and so much more! (Plus, without spoiling anything, I will tell you that you will definitely want to stay tuned until the very end of the interview!)
Akira creates a revolutionary type of music referred to as meaningwave, and I reveal to Akira how and why his music has changed the way that I listen to music, and Akira discusses his biggest musical influences. He also shares the connection between mind and body, his feelings on artificial intelligence mimicking art, how he reinvents himself, and, as I said, so much more!
This has been such an incredible conversation. I really appreciate Akira and his music, and I appreciate his time on the podcast! If you aren't subscribed to the show already, please be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast app! I would also really appreciate it if you would share the podcast with at least one other person you know who might also enjoy it and if you would leave me a five-star review! That really helps the show out!
