Crystal Shawanda is a Canadian singer/songwriter, JUNO winner, CCMA winner, now living in Nashville. Coming from a Native family, she grew up on a reserve in Northern Ontario. She hit the country music scene with a  #1 smash “you can let go”. She then followed her heart(and raspy voice), and made a pivot into the blues world. A genre that feels more authentic to who she is as an artist. In this episode: -Is fame really what you expect it to be? Or is it a numbing and isolating experience. -How close should you be with the  people you employ? -Why not being authentic to yourself will make you feel stifled in your creative journey.  -Finding the confidence to make a pivot in the middle of your career.  -Her responsibility as an Indigenous artists in the public eye as a role model.  -Why having engaged subscribers on social media are far more valuable than bought subscribers & how to still sell CD’s in a world of streaming.  http://crystalshawanda.co https://www.facebook.com/crystalshawandaofficial https://www.instagram.com/crystalshawanda https://twitter.com/crystalshawanda https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCarmUNYsNmD9yYBt1BKm7Iw …………………………………………………… Let’s Connect! https://www.balancedartist.com https://www.facebook.com/BalancedArtist https://www.instagram.com/rorygardinermusic
