Karl Engelmann is a producer of food and music (including an annual Christmas album!). He discovered early on that work in kitchens dovetailed nicely with his calling to be a musician. He would sometimes work all day in the restaurant, leave to play a night-time gig, sleep a few hours and then show up again for his work shift. As the years passed, and as adult responsibilities increased, he found himself as a chef in the corporate world with endless work hours, rare family time and too worn out to create his music. Realizing this wasn't sustainable he and his wife decided to open their own restaurant and catering business in honor of work-life balance (they intentionally do not serve dinner) and farm-to-table sensibilities (even the chorizo and curry paste are made from scratch!) with time enough for his recording projects. He reminds us that multiple creative mediums can overflow into each other, lots of motivation can come from loving what you are doing and most importantly that keeping a hold of your creative life is just as important as keeping a hold of the rest of your life.
