I’m excited to finally share this episode with you! I had the opportunity to meet Holden Miller towards the end of last year. I reached out after seeing one of his Tik Toks and the rest is history. Holden is a musician from Long Island, now living in LA with a few friends. His music journey started while studying business at Bucknall University when he felt he was wasting his time and money. He decided to add music to the mix and utilize the schools equipment to kickstart his music career. Now living in LA, Holden is doing his best to stay consistent in his musical passion so he can pursue it full time. We discuss lots of stuff in this episode and Holden shares some cool stories and advice for musicians and for life in general. Stick around to the end and be sure to share Holden’s music and story with a friend!
