Description

On today's episode, Steph is talking with one of her DIME coworkers, Nate Winn. Nate's a versatile drummer and band leader who got his masters in jazz drumming from Berklee College of Music. We dive deep into his story, starting with high school band and his challenges as a late bloomer. He talks about his experience with the Civic Jazz Orchestra in Detroit, and what it was like to audition and play with the legendary jazz band leader Marcus Belgrave. They talk about some huge sacrifices Nate had to make while working toward his dream, and the different mentors who helped him along the way.
