Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer Brill

Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer BrillSpencer Brill is an indie alternative singer songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. He's a baker, he's a community builder, and a lover of all things music.I'm a singer songwriter born in NYC, but grew up in way upstate NY near Canada - had a band in high school, played shows in upstate NY in the Adirondacks. Moved back to NYC as an adult in 2012. Lived in Brooklyn, had a love/hate relationship with NYC and was struggling. I decided to start a baking business (a coconut macaroon company) in Brooklyn, launched into holiday markets and ecommerce and sold 50,000+ macaroons in 7 weeks. The woman who would be my wife came through as a customer at the holiday market, took my card, looked me up and we've been married for 7 years. Before that I was in a relationship with someone who wasn't supportive of music making, so I took a pause for a few years. 2020 - I was hospitalized for a week with Covid. Changed my perspective on life, and how short it can be. Watched some horrible things occur in the hospital room with me. I survived, dove into music production and learning to take songwriting/production seriously. I released songs, built a killer band in NYC, and have played all over the city. 2 years later, doctors found a benign golf-ball sized tumor in my lower spine. Got half of it removed, and after facing death again, I put even more energy into the things I love and the passion I have for other people, making art that moves people, and building community. I was at a songwriting retreat recently in Dublin Ireland that gave me incredible clarity on what I wanted to pursue. I love talking music, songwriting, baking, NYC, and can wax poetic about most topics. I offer a perspective of a survivor of a few close calls and the joy of art making and the self-reflection that those two encompass.Link:https://spencerbrill.com/https://www.instagram.com/spencerbrillmusicTags:Artist,Live Music,Music,Musician,Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer Brill,Live Video Podcast Interview,Podcast,Phantom Electric Ghost Podcast,PodmatchSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page
