The Interview:
In this episode of Willow Talk, we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Ezra Cohen. Tackling Ezra’s thirteen year music career in one session, we did our best to get as much insight out of this music industry veteran! We chatted about everything from Ezra’s earliest days in music (and some questionable middle school fashion choices) to what it’s like to be on tour, and why creating meaningful relationships is so important to Ezra (and anyone looking to find their place in their local music scene).
We Also Talk About:
- How Ezra’s passion for music first sparked and the people in his life who supported his interest.
- His impressive 13 year musical career.
- Why so many of the important lessons we learn in life come from not knowing and simply jumping into the experience.
- Changing course when you’re dealt a new hand - in life and in your career.
- Ezra’s exploration of new facets of the music industry, from singing and songwriting to performing and producing.
- Balancing your passions with your day job. How Ezra balances songwriting, band practice, and a tour schedule with another full time job.
- Why hustle doesn’t equal success and why we’re often happier with our final products when we take the time to slow down and enjoy the process.
- What it’s like to rely on others - friends, family, bandmates, your community - and why it’s so important to your growth and making meaningful connections.
- How a positive mindset = positive energy and why the genuine, positive energy you give out often comes right back to you.
- Ezra’s take on social media and the relationship he’s had with the outlet over the years.
- The comparison trap and the feeling of being genuinely happy for the success of other creatives.
