BV39: John Fernandes: The gift of music.

BV39: John Fernandes: The gift of music. How John came to love music and dive into the industry.  Getting hired as a musician as a kid.  The effect of Mr. James Ambat on John’s early music life.  The influence of environment and nurture in John’s growth as a person.  MTV as background inspiration.  Could anyone escape the effect of nature?  Music as salvation. The family’s true motivation's and how they came together. Being part of something that’s bigger than you.  We were taught “When you’re a musician, when you’re on stage, you can’t just say I'm a musician, watch and listen. You’ve gotta perfrom. You’ve gotta give. You’ve gotta show emotion. You’ve gotta feel the music. And only then can any audience connect with you.  How a good mix of skills build a business well.   How family stick together in business.  “Our biggest value is authenticity. We never want to be fake. We never want to project something we are not. For whatever reason, we will not do it.”  “We want people who follow us to want to connect with us. It’s about connection.”  “Even if you connect with our music and you never give us a single dollar throughout our entire lives, we’re still happy to have met you, happy to have known you and happy to be with you.”  “In my opinion the best gift you can give someone is a song.”  “Only by truly giving out that gift you have, we will receive whatever it is that this universe has for us.”
