Say Yes Before You’re Ready: Inside a 25-Year Journey Through Music, Failure & Reinvention

from Dream It Make It - Artists Unveiled · host Dream It Make It

In this episode of Artists Unveiled, we sit down with Pier Giacalone, producer, engineer, musician, and a 25-year veteran of the recording industry whose journey moves from tiny club rooms to mixing at Radio City Music Hall, and from college studios to creating records with icons like Regina Spektor and Zayn Malik.From turning down Sony because he was on a family trip, to accidentally becoming Zayn’s go-to studio neighbor, Pierre’s story is a reminder that the career you dream of doesn’t unfold in a straight line, it unfolds in the chaos of real life. A phone call in the middle of a Radio City soundcheck changed everything: “Whatever you have to say has to be more important than this.” And it was. “I’m pregnant.”Pierre opens up about learning to say yes before feeling ready, the truth about the music industry, why soft skills are more important than gear, and why the artists who survive are the ones who keep reaching even when it’s terrifying.This conversation is for anyone trying to create a life around their art without waiting to be chosen, for the ones building their dreams from scratch, in real time, with imperfect steps.🎧 Listen to Artists Unveiled: Pier Giacalone “Say Yes Before You’re Ready: Inside a 25-Year Journey Through Music, Failure & Reinvention” Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & Buzzsprout.Thank You for Listening!If you enjoyed this premiere season of Dream It Make It- Artists Unveiled, please remember to subscribe, rate, and leave a review—it helps more creators find us!Connect with the Show and Dream It Make It:Website: www.godimi.comDream It, Make It is dedicated to empowering artists to build thriving, sustainable careers.#ArtistUnveiled #DreamItMakeIt #CreativeEntrepreneur #Holiday
