Continuing on, Cainan discusses the challenges and successes he faced, including imposter syndrome and finding his place at Berklee. Cainan also reflects on the importance of mentorship and the magic of music. The episode concludes with a discussion of the purpose of the podcast, which is to demystify the craft of music while amplifying the magic.
