  • Your Biggest Obstacle is Yourself: Don't Let You Get in The Way of Creating With CVBZ

    Your Biggest Obstacle is Yourself: Don't Let You Get in The Way of Creating With CVBZ
    Aug 22 2023
    CVBZ is an independent artist and songwriter residing in Los Angeles, California. He's written a number of hit songs and recently sold sound recordings to a company called Duetti. He's very intelligent and open-minded, so there's a lot of wisdom sprinkled throughout.

    In this episode, CVBZ and I talk about how he's been able to do music full-time, bad record deals, Duetti and artist funding, money is a "dirty" word, and how you're your biggest saboteur.
