Balance, Discipline, Forgiveness and Compassion with Esther Rojas

LA-based Colombian bassist, arranger, educator, and musical director Esther Rojas's multifaceted and versatile skill-set while aptly facilitating high-calibre collaborations with iconic artists like Alejandro Sanz, Juan Luis Guerra, Jon Secada, and Carlos Vivesamong others, when not donning the MD hat for mammoth large-ensemble projects (like the Bogota Big Band), is only the reflection of a remarkably deep and sensitive thinker whos inner work on well-being and mental health sets a commendable precedent for future generations of artists and musicians around the globe.

This long-form conversation addresses some of the most pivotal issues contemporary artists deal with going in-depth on understanding sustainability, mental health, work ethics, and the process involved in honing the required skillsets for the same while navigating the diverse environments that have shaped the wisdom shared from her story.
