Is there really any such thing as a 'traditional' career path in the music industry?

I share this series with the incredible world-percussionist, drummer, & choral director Nick Halley as we answer questions submitted to us by young artists. For this episode, we were asked: "Was it ever difficult to advocate for your creative dreams and goals, rather than pursuing a slightly more traditional career path? Were there people along the way who did not understand your choices, and how did you deal with that?".

Nick speaks inspiringly about how, after a seemingly counterintuitive career move away from a big city, he ended up becoming a drummer for an American folk music icon.
