“Everything you can imagine is real.” —Pablo Picasso   I am so excited to announce that we are launching a whole new series at Turmeric & Tequila, T&T Creatives. We believe that we are born to create, some people just pursue it further than others:) Creators are the ones helping build, shape, and define the world around us. Music, art, food, and anything else you create, are universal languages AND now is the time for unity. The T&T Open Mic Series are designed to bring all voices to the mic to share personal experiences around equality and the T&T Creatives Series are designed to highlight and inspire unifying points where we can connect and feel equal in creative space. You can speak the same language as someone and look at a photo differently AND you can speak a different language as someone and look at a photo the same. We want to have the hard convos (T&T Open Mics) and then provide opportunities to connect (T&T Creatives)!   I am so excited to welcome Elliot Anderson to the T&T Mic, our very first T&T Creative Series guest! Elliot is an audio master, audio engineer, composer, and all-around music hustler. He is kicking off his career in the music biz and I couldn’t wait to hear how the journey was going. I dabbled in the music industry post college (LOVE music), so I was extra excited to see where the biz is all these years later. Elliot shares his experience thus far, how he balances passion + business, and all the details in-between. This is an awesome cast for anyone in the industry or any entrepreneur looking to get into a competitive market… especially when your product is you! These are bold moves to make, but so worthwhile if it’s in your heart- chase it.   Highlights: The music business. The hustle. The dream. Cardio. Breakdown, breakthrough. How to start a business, aka entrepreneurship. Balancing business and passion. Believing in yourself and just starting. Missy Elliot & Timbaland (in my mind). Doing what you’re supposed to and then doing what you want to do. Growing up/adulting. Upcoming parties.   PARMAJAWN (Elliot Anderson):  DJ, producer, and recording engineer based out of Denver, CO. He has been steadily producing and performing his own music for 10 years and regularly works with vocalists and rappers as an engineer and as a producer. His styles range all over the board, but he typically sticks to housey grooves and hip-hop heaters with huge synth soundscapes and complex rhythmic textures.   Artist Name: PARMAJAWN   Personal Name: Elliot Anderson   Email: ebanderson1998@gmail.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parmajawnbeats/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parmajawwwwn/?hl=en   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5l0nkQZ7L47ZHczHlk7kCd?si=ShlnoN72RXCUAMmN_aKAkg   Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/parmajawnbeats   Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com   Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Tik Tok: @Madonnashero Email: Info@KOAlliance.com Website: www.KOAlliance.com
