Our special guest today is David Nevue who is considered “the pioneer in the new age piano recording world”. He is an internationally recognized pianist, composer, and recording artist. David began promoting his music online in 1995 - an "internet age" before iTunes (or even Google) existed.
David's music has surpassed 1.6 Billion spins on Pandora Radio, and hundreds of millions, maybe a billion mark on Spotify and Apple.
He founded Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio in 2003, the very first internet radio station that was solo piano only. After almost twenty years "on the air," Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio is home to over 360 talented piano artists and broadcasts to tens of thousands of piano music fans from all over the world every single day.
What You’ll Learn
In this episode, David narrates how he ended up doing piano as his full-time career. He also features how he came about Whisperings Radio and how he was able to be right at the front edge of the technology as early as the 2000s.
He gives his secret on success and how to find joy and fulfillment in this industry. He also shares valuable tips on what to write to get on Whisperings Radio and explains how music taps into the spiritual world, how music influences all of our emotions and feelings, and how it influences people in the positive and the negative.
