#podcast #interview #rossgipson Welcome to Episode 15 featuring Tik Influencer and star, Ross Gipson from Carthage, MOIn this episode we got to talk to Ross about his being a cancer survivor, his songwriting style, his elven story and folk songs, his art, his comedy, his strategy involving Tik Tok and so much more!Courtesy of https://www.reverbnation.com/rossgipsonI wrote my first song when I was eighteen years old. I had been listening to Robert Johnson a lot, and decided to write a blues song. It was called "Society's Blues," and thinking back on it I can safely say it was awful. It didn't matter though. At the time it was good, and it was enough to get me interested in songwriting. Soon after I heard that song I started listening to Bob Dylan and my songwriting really started to grow after that.The years that have followed have seen me grow as an artist. I have discovered new music - Leonard Cohen, Ben Folds, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Dan Bern, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Mountain Goats, to name a few - and I've had a lot of people encouraging me along the way, and I've had a lot of great musicians who I've worked with and played with who have helped to cultivate me as an artist. I continue to grow even now and push myself to be as good as I can be at this.Check out all episodes of "The Boston Chris Podcast" here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRVUGoqJJ6AdL2KbXbyB59e-_AOktJbahChapters:00:00: Theme Song by Adios Fatso00:36: Intro02:58: Passing Imagery by Ross Gipson07:18: What is Ross Drinking?08:09: Ross’ Upbringing & First Musical Memories/Influences11:43: What instruments does he play?13:00: The strategy of his social media content16:34: His music before taking off on Tik Tok19:12: Making Content Creation look easy21:51: Surviving Leukemia24:30: Not sweating the small stuff28:57: His effective use of the Tik Tok Duet feature34:31: Describing his own music35:10: What are Elven Folk Songs?39:46: His process for writing songs46:59: How would his path had been different before the internet?48:53: Why is Tik Tok so good for him?51:26: Who does he think she is?!Support Boston Chris💵Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCao6fJOfevnE7dkMYz3vnQQ/join👕Merchandise Store: https://boston-chris-gaming.creator-s...🎧Purchase Hyper X Products: https://hx.hyperx.gg/BG5FiQXA💵Donate to Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/etxrocksFollow Boston Chris► Twitter https://twitter.com/BostonChrisTTV► Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bostonchristtv/► TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itsbostonchris► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBostonChrisShow► Discord https://discord.gg/TkyV9Q2P► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/thebostonchrisshow► Other Stuff: https://linktr.ee/bostonchrisCheck out the Podcasts:► The Chris & Kadie Show YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRVUGoqJJ6AfeGd6fbyounJgu3bNCwyOr► The Chris & Kadie Show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4UhHqi95KXlVXzoofzLdKz?si=c335a7dd569f4dec► 10 Minutes with Boston Chris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRVUGoqJJ6AdL2KbXbyB59e-_AOktJbah► 10 Minutes with Boston Chris Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5UeR5tgIGsltEMUh0a22h8?si=b10432ece9ec4db0
