40 Why I Believe Every Musician Needs a Website (Yes, Even in the Age of Social Media)

In this episode, I want to talk about something that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential for any serious musician: having your own website.I know—social media is powerful. But platforms come and go, algorithms change, and relying solely on them means you're building your career on rented land. Your website, on the other hand, is your digital home. It’s the one place online that you fully control, and it speaks volumes about your professionalism.I’ll share why I believe every musician—whether you're performing, composing, or teaching—needs a website, and how mine has helped me connect with venues, collaborators, and audiences around the world.-I’ve been hosting this podcast for quite some time now, and I’m thrilled with the success it has achieved so far. However, I’ve noticed that some of my earlier episodes— which are still highly relevant and evergreen—haven’t received as much attention as they deserve. So, I’ve decided to re-upload these valuable episodes to give you another chance to dive into them.If you haven’t already, please subscribe to the podcast, and don’t forget to like and share it with fellow musicians.
