Musicality Mondays S4 EP 3: The world of PERCUSSION X studying your peers, with Evan Espinoza Robles#musicality #percussion #musicpodcast I learned so much in this episode. I’ve known Evan since around 2023 and he’s always been a kind person. This is the first time we’ve actually gotten to sit down and have a full conversation and I am so grateful to have had this moment. This dude can talk for days about music and the history behind percussion and some of the most influential people in the music industry. In this episode you will hear about what Evan play primarily as well has some of the gems he teaches to his students. Make sure you check him out and get lessons from him if you are looking to get into drumset or percussion instruments.Follow Evan on Instagram @espinoza_robles_percussionSlum Village Performance https://vimeo.com/1170426266/3a8e54fcd3Next Room 3 Performance at The Dakota Jazz Club October 15 w Rakim https://www.dakotacooks.com/event/rakim-w-room3-collective-oct15-2026/2026-10-15/1/Honorable mentions:@tariasandthesound@madameblu_@room3collective@elpanasueco

Musicality Mondays S3 Ep4: Vocalist and Guitarist Lisa D#podcast #musicality #musicpodcast I met Lisa D back in 2022 when we played a show at Gigis Cafe in Minneapolis! I instantly had a respect for her musicality (no pun intended). Her story telling also brought me in because I had never heard anyone be so real and true about their songs backstory before while introducing them! She sets the seen for the beautiful and wonderful music she is about to play and she’s so chill about it. Lise D puts on an impressive show and I am really happy to know her. I also wanted to have her on the show to introduce you to her because she is looking for a band. If you are interested and play guitar, bass, drums, keys etc definitely reach out to her!This is a Make Your Own Trophy Records Production.

This interview being the season finale was the icing on the cake. As I mention in the video, I’ve looked up to Dante for a while now!
