What do you get when you mix world-class trumpet chops, silky smooth vocals, and impeccable style? You get my guest for this episode, Willie Murillo.   
Willie is a man of many talents. Besides being a top-flight session player, Willie is also an arranger, songwriter, producer, and vocalist. But his talents don't stop there. Willie is also an entrepreneur whose passion for education lead him to co-develop The Practice App, a web-based way to practice with the pros. Willie is passionate, driven, and perhaps the best-dressed trumpet player in LA.  
Check put what Willie has to say about staying on the grind during the pandemic, the joy in slowing down, the power of social media to increase connection, the reality of the politics of the music business, accepting the fact that we are all human, navigating the studio hierarchy, the power of Jon Lewis' High C, lessons from James Morrison, being comfortable in his own skin, why it's important to be vulnerable, why Wayne Bergeron is Mr. Incredible, important lessons from Uan Rasey's memorial, the power of consistency, and so much more!  
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
