In this episode, I want to talk about something that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential for any serious musician: having your own website.

I know—social media is powerful. But platforms come and go, algorithms change, and relying solely on them means you're building your career on rented land. Your website, on the other hand, is your digital home. It’s the one place online that you fully control, and it speaks volumes about your professionalism.

I’ll share why I believe every musician—whether you're performing, composing, or teaching—needs a website, and how mine has helped me connect with venues, collaborators, and audiences around the world.
