This week Brian is joined by MNERVA.MNERVA talks too much and isn’t afraid to admit it. With his witty lyrics, honest delivery, and energetic production, MNERVA has forged his own lane in the Alternative scene by fusing his rock, hip hop, and musical theatre influences into a cohesive sound. Originally hailing from Germantown, Maryland, MNERVA moved to Nashville in 2015 to hone his craft and debuted as a hip hop artist in early 2020 after going viral by writing a jukebox musical based on the catalog of twenty one pilots. But after enduring the Covid-19 pandemic, MNERVA embraced his rock background and began opening up about his struggles with mental health and his fear of the future. The result is his debut EP, Talk Too Much, a bombastic culmination of five years of personal hardships and self discovery. With this project, MNERVA has finally cemented his sound and is ready to challenge the conventional wisdom of combining rock and hip hop.Topics covered include:MNERVA's approach to songwriting.Mental health and music.How MNERVA went viral and the outcome.How MNERVA got into music and much much more.Find MNERVA here:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2ED0gKMnmDLqSK6EWWJ2ZI?si=0vgzdeC9Q0-PeQ_o9Je6XA&dl_branch=1 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mnerva_official/  FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/IamMNERVA YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzEIr-xv5kfETBGlD2LNgXQ?view_as=subscriber WEBSITE: https://mnervaofficial.com/Find CTMU here:https://linktr.ee/ConcertsthatmadeusIf you would like to support the show you can do so by signing up at https://www.patreon.com/Concertsthatmadeus and you will gain access to a range of benefits including video versions of the episodes.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ctmu/message Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/concerts-that-made-us.
