Why Isn’t Great Music Enough Anymore?
Jay Mills is a Columbus artist, producer, engineer and videographer who has spent more than a decade learning every side of music.
In this episode, Jay breaks down the business behind being an artist, why making a good song is only the beginning and how his bedroom recording setup became a recognizable part of Columbus rap. He also talks about the mushroom experience that strengthened his belief in God, finding his God-given talent, building a legacy after loss, staying coachable, refusing to rely on presets and why he does not want to release music without a real plan behind it.
