Introduction
Welcome back to the dHarmic Evolution podcast with me James Kevin O’Connor, singer/songwriter and master storyteller. And boy have I got a story to tell today! In this episode, I have with me the amazing Stuart of Stuart. FM. I’m excited to have him on the show today, as this music master has got it nailed down! His guitar riffs and slides are heavens to the ears!
Join us as we chat about his history, when he first picked up his guitar - which was supposedly for his sister - and how the music of legend Jimi Hendrix has pushed him more toward the path of music! I had a wonderful chat with Stuart, and I bet you will too! His tracks are amazing, and worth every second to listen to. Stuart and I also get into the topic of the future of music - fidelity and royalty and how these are important to balance out the equation in the music world - and how important it is to get the attention of your audience. It’s important for today’s artists to have more fans or followers than actually sell records.
Truly inspiring, Stuart isn’t only a musician but a successful entrepreneur as well, giving rise to the NIA Technique, which is a worldwide fitness and wellness holistic educational company.
