In Season Two of Did You Hear That Daniel got the opportunity to talk to Grae Violett a Singer/Songwriter & College Student based out of Seattle WA. 

Daniel and Grae are talking outside of the Amazon Spheres in Seattle! So, there might be some outside background noise. We talked about life, being a facilitator of energy, not letting others live rent-free in your head, the Seattle music scene, and how everyone is so nice and willing to help each other out. We also talked about the challenges that being Black can be in a city like Seattle if you aren't able to code-switch or be able to talk for yourself. we talked about Grae dope fashion taste and Grae Dad taste in music, and lastly, we talked about the challenges of being black and how us a black people can be more accepting of other black people paths of life and how we can all come together and not be jealous when another black person succeeds instead be genuinely happy for them.

In this episode, I share about my time in Montréal and how it changed me but also The Wandering Ear. I also share how in life sometimes we dwell and we expect for something to happen but when we don’t get it we become disappointed and feel like it’s not worth doing it anymore. I also talk about how I’m okay with failing and losing because I’m in this project for the long run. On top of that I talk about how super grateful I am for Also Cool Mag for inviting me to Vault:Unlocked DIY festival. Lastly, I talk about the guy who bought my shirt and really proved to me that someone actually likes what I do and would support the vision and the person who followed us on Instagram at the market and how that made me feel.

In the previous episode, I talked about my personal breakthrough and then shared my brand new website. But in this episode, I share some updates that have occurred with The Wandering Ear in February such as the opportunity to go to Montreal to this Montreal DIY Music Festival called Vault: Unlocked. I was invited by Also Cool Mag to be a vendor at this event. I also share how sometimes in life we try to plan everything and by doing that sometimes we don't end up doing it because we are just planning without the intention of doing. I also talk about how sometimes you don't need to plan but just do. I share my idea of how I knew I was going to Montreal in February but I didn't know how I was going to get there I just knew I had to be there. And then I share what I've been working on for the last couple of months and I also share how I don't really have a plan for this project. I just know that this is supposed to work out at the end of the day.
