Description
Jared Easley interviewed Eric McCain, an accomplished musician, percussionist, and studio musician on the Starve the Doubts podcast. Some key points from the discussion:- Eric shared his background, growing up related to the Pointer Sisters, getting his start in music through marching band, and being mentored by influential music teacher Reggie Andrews. This exposed him to jazz and inspired him to learn percussion.- He has traveled the world performing at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House. Eric has also worked with many famous artists, such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Denzel Washington, though often in the studio rather than directly.- Eric performed percussion on the original Lion King animated film and the Broadway musical for many years. - He emphasized the importance of constantly reinventing yourself and being open to learning new things at any age. This motivated his interest in podcasting and attending this podcast conference.- When asked for recommendations on experiencing the real LA music scene, Eric suggested checking out smaller clubs in the arts district downtown, referenced in the LA Weekly. - He discussed how much the music industry and recording technology have evolved over his career, from 4-track tapes to digital. While it is easier now, he feels the abundance of music has reduced some modern music's overall quality and artistry.- Eric advised aspiring musicians to learn piano fundamentals and music theory as a foundation. Success takes hard work and homework, not overnight stardom.- He is launching his podcast, Eric McCain Live, in late April 2024, interviewing musicians.- Eric closed by encouraging listeners to prioritize their health above all else.The interview painted Eric as a passionate, accomplished musician eager to share his experience and wisdom with others through his upcoming podcast.
