If You’ve Ever Apologized for Your Song… Listen to This – With The Low Stakes Band

Saison 1 · Épisode 29

lundi 29 septembre 2025 • Durée 34:57

Music isn’t supposed to be polite—it’s supposed to be true. In this episode, Tzayla sits down with New Hampshire duo The Low Stakes (Eric Colville & Ann Holbrook) to talk about finding your voice, writing songs that cut deep, and why honesty always matters more than polish. If you’ve ever wondered how “real” to be in your art, this conversation is your permission slip to stop apologizing and start creating.

Key Takeaways:

Don’t water yourself down. The moment you soften your edges just to fit in, you lose the heartbeat of your art.
Music holds the messy stuff. Songs can carry grief and joy, heartbreak and humor, rage and tenderness—all at once.
Protect the space. Authenticity isn’t about being “marketable.” It’s about being real enough that someone else says, “Yes. That’s how I feel too.”
Polite art fades. The songs that bleed, that risk honesty, are the ones that last.

What Every Artist Needs to Hear Before Moving to Nashville – With Daniel McCurdy

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

lundi 7 juillet 2025 • Durée 30:45

In this heartfelt episode, Tzayla sits down with Nashville-based artist, producer, and songwriter Daniel McCurdy to talk about his journey from producing behind the scenes to stepping into the spotlight with a fresh country-inspired artist project. They dive deep into community, calling, the spiritual journey of being “good clay,” and the messy beauty of letting go of control in both music and life. If you've ever wrestled with direction or doubted your dream—this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

“Be good clay.” Let God shape your path, even if it looks wildly different from what you imagined.
Surround yourself with creatives who stretch you, challenge you, and share your love for music. Growth happens in community.
Perfection isn’t the goal—connection is. Sometimes your voice cracking or a weird snare hit is what makes the song feel real.
Nashville isn’t just country music—it’s a movement of creatives supporting each other. The “pitch meeting” open mic scene is a must-experience.
Follow the open doors. Don’t get so stuck on your five-year plan that you miss the detours meant to lead you home.

Music Business 101: What Every Artist Needs to Know to Protect Their Art and Build Their Career

Saison 1 · Épisode 16

lundi 30 juin 2025 • Durée 10:16

In this solo episode, Tzayla breaks down the music business in plain language, covering everything from copyright to contracts to making money as an indie artist. If you want to protect your music, scale your artistry, and build a sustainable career without selling your soul, start here. No fluff. Just the truth, tools, and tough love you need.

Key Takeaways:

Your song is your baby — learn the difference between composition and master rights, and why both matter.
Join a PRO (Performing Rights Organization) like ASCAP or BMI to collect royalties every time your music is played.
Use split sheets when collaborating to avoid future drama and protect friendships (and your finances).
Read your contracts — and if it says “in perpetuity” or “exclusive rights,” you better think twice.
Pick the right distributor (like DistroKid, CD Baby, or TuneCore) to get your music on streaming platforms.
Don’t count on streaming alone — real success comes from multiple income streams: licensing, merch, teaching, Patreon, and more.
Think like an owner — Taylor Swift’s story is your reminder that owning your masters equals owning your power.

If something in this episode helped you or made you think, DM Tzayla on Instagram at @tzayla.official. She loves hearing from you all! Feel free to ask her questions, too, or let her know if you want her to do a deeper dive on something.

You can keep your soul and share your song. You can protect your art and still dream like crazy.

Your legacy doesn’t start when you blow up — it starts now, with every choice you make.

So keep dreaming big, and thanks for tuning in!

From Broadway to TikTok - With Jordan Siwek

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

lundi 16 juin 2025 • Durée 22:13

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of Off Key and On Pitch, Tzayla talks with New York City-based singer, songwriter, and pianist Jordan Siwek. From Broadway stages to TikTok screens, Jordan shares how his music transforms darkness into light. They dive deep into authenticity, songwriting, going viral with intention, and using art as a force for healing and connection. This conversation is a love letter to every artist who just wants to be real—and be seen.

Key Takeaways:

Music is connection. Jordan’s TikTok success came from focusing on community over self-promotion—creating space for others to sing, share, and shine.
Art doesn’t need to be perfect. Vulnerability, imperfection, and heart are often more powerful than flawless production.
Storytelling matters. Songs like Lover and a Giver and Like Me and Follow Me fuse melody with message—offering honesty, humor, and hope.
Lead with light. Whether you reach 7 or 700,000 people, showing up authentically is the most powerful thing you can do.

What Artists Get Wrong About the Industry (And What Actually Works) – With Dalton Lewis

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

lundi 9 juin 2025 • Durée 48:34

In this episode, Tzayla sits down with cinematographer and content strategist Dalton Lewis to explore his journey from filming concerts for free to working with both indie and label artists. They dive into the realities of music video production, the pros and cons of working with labels, the power of authentic networking, and why artists should drop the ego and stay real. A must-listen for anyone breaking into the creative industry.

Key Takeaways

Authenticity Wins: Real connections go further than rented Suburbans and fake personas. People can sense the real you—so stop acting and start showing up.
Networking Is Everything: Dalton’s career was built on relationships. Say yes, show up, be kind. Word spreads fast in the music world.
Grow With Your People: Don’t chase stars—build with your peers. The artist you help now may be the one who brings you with them to the big leagues.
Social Media Strategy: Go for 3–5 quality posts a week. Storytelling and behind-the-scenes content beats flashy edits. Consistency is king.
Labels vs. Indies: Label gigs bring money and politics. Independent artists bring creative freedom and fun. Know your values when choosing.
Music Industry Is Smaller Than You Think: Reputation matters. Be someone people want to work with again (and again).
Start With What You’ve Got: You don’t need fancy gear—Dalton’s earliest viral videos were shot on an iPhone.

The Hard Parts of Music Nobody Talks About – With Eva Rose and David Pippin

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

lundi 5 mai 2025 • Durée 41:17

What does it take to make it in music—not just for a season, but for a lifetime?

In this episode of Off Key and On Pitch, Tzayla sits down with acoustic duo Eva Rose and David Pippin, two artists who’ve shared the stage—and the struggle—for over 15 years. From playing for 20,000 fans at Springing the Blues to performing in dive bars, competitions, and living rooms, they’ve built a career on grit, grace, and staying power.

They get real about the emotional weight of songwriting, the weird magic of live performance, how to push past stage fright, and why so many bands fall apart when the going gets hard.

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a front-row seat to a masterclass in artistic resilience.

If you're a musician, songwriter, performer, or even just a curious creative—you need to hear this.

Key Takeaways:

Emotion is fuel: Eva writes to process, David writes to tell stories—and together, they turn personal truth into art that connects.
Stage fright is a liar: Eva’s brain hack for anxiety on stage might just change your next performance.
Longevity takes friendship: Bands break up. Duos drift. But respect, patience, and playfulness are glue.
Write the bad songs too: You’re not blocked—you’re backed up. Write through the junk to get to the gold.
Competition is a training ground: Forget winning—use contests to grow under pressure, sharpen your edge, and stretch your skills.
Make music because you love it: Period. If you don’t love the process, no jet plane will ever be enough.
