Digital Detox Ep. 19 | Marissa Ann The Voice Of An Angel In this episode of Digital Detox, Matt Violinist is joined by DJ Stallion, DJ E-Class, and special guest Marissa Ann for a real conversation about what it actually takes to perform at a high level. Marissa Ann opens up about her journey from being told she had the “voice of an angel” as a child to performing national anthems for major arenas and competing on big stages like That’s New York Talent. She breaks down the mental side of singing, how emotions affect performance, and the pressure that comes with stepping on stage in front of thousands. The conversation goes deeper into preparation, “performer mode,” and why protecting your energy is just as important as talent. Matt and the crew also share their own experiences as DJs and performers, highlighting the similarities between musicians, vocalists, and entertainers across the board. From audition stories and industry rejection to manifestation, burnout, and rediscovering passion, this episode is about staying grounded while chasing something bigger. Whether you’re an artist, performer, or just someone navigating your own path, this episode gives real insight into the mindset behind the craft.
