Today we have a TREAT for you. We had the honor of chatting with our good friend Thunderstorm Artis.    Thunderstorm has been featured in festivals throughout North America, and he’s played with artists like Jack Johnson, Booker T, and Mike Love. He most recently placed as a finalist in 3rd place on Season 18 of NBC’s The Voice with his coach Nick Jonas. His music crosses so many genres including folk, rock, soul, and country. No matter what Thunderstorm sings or writes he does it from his heart. He believes that through his music he can make our world a better place by lifting the hearts of others.   Today we got to talk to him ALL about his journey as a musician and how growing up in a family of 11 kids both grew him and affected his style and sound as a musician. We then got to chat with Thunder about ALL the behind the scenes juice from what it’s like being on one of the most popular competition shows ever, The Voice. He tells us the very inspiring story of the chance encounter that ended up getting him on the show, he talks about what the blind auditions are like, what he learned from working with both John Legend and Nick Jonas as his coaches, and SOOO much more.   Thunder is honestly one of the most humble, kind, talented, and spirit filled people we’ve had on the show, and he drops SO many nuggets of wisdom, whether you’re trying to break into the music industry or go after a dream that’s been on your heart. You NEED what this man has to say.   Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/047-how-one-simple-choice-and-a-chance-encounter-led-to-becoming-a-finalist-on-the-voice-with-thunderstorm-artis HoneyBook: share.honeybook.com/heart   In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    www.noissue.co Code: HEART for 10% off your purchase   www.theheartuniversity.com/content   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   www.twitter.com/thunderstorm_artist  https://www.facebook.com/ThunderstormArtis1 https://linktr.ee/thunderstormartis Follow along: www.instagram.com/thunderstormartis  www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity
