Musicians and Singers

There isn't really a typical day. If I'm in the process of writing, I spend a lot of time in my home studio putting together beats and melodies. If I'm recording an album, I'm in a professional studio for 10-12 hours straight with the producer and my band getting all the parts just right. When I'm on the road, we often have to drive to the next town during the day, load in, sound check, chill for a bit, then get on stage and perform. It can get hectic but I can't see myself doing anything else!

At Guitars Over Guns, we hire musicians to come into middle schools, high schools, and community centers to create relationships and mentor students for years on end. A mentor will arrive at a school with a lesson plan. We start off with a circle to check in with the students about how they're feeling—that check-in essentially guides the day. We'll teach lessons and lead activities to create a positive experience for students.
