Our guest in this episode is Brian Fitzy, a central PA native, and friend of the pod! From his humble beginnings as a violinist to literally performing on the Grammy’s with the Foo Fighters, Brian has had an extremely varied performing career. Not only does he play, but he produces and records for clients all over the world. We talk with Brian about his varied musical taste as a young musician, his gig/life balance coming out of his Grammy appearance, the joys and advantages of being a ‘One-Man-Band’, and being his own advocate in the industry. Brian has such an infectiously passionate attitude about his creative work, one born out of following his own path and figuring out how to make it into a career.
