Chennai native Shreya Nagarajan Singh launched SNS Arts Development Consultancy to offer strategic guidance and management to artists in the Indian arts landscape after an extraordinarily accomplished career as a performing artist as a Bharatnatyam Dancer, academic credentials that include a Masters's Degree in Arts Management at Columbia College on a Fullbright Scholarship, delegation in the Asia Pacific Leadership Program in the The East-West Centre in Hawaii, and a 6month solo-travel stint in a pre-Google Maps era still left her looking for a way to fulfill her true calling: make an impact on the Indian arts landscape that addresses some of its biggest loopholes that include archaic pedagogical methods, patriarchal power dynamics, casteism, informal economies and an eco-system that struggles to decipher accountability.
This long-form conversation turned interview aims to explore the journey that has been since.

Miles and I met at the Tate Modern cafe in London as I sat there wondering why my writing has kept getting criticized by academia the way it has most of my life.
What followed was the beginning of a conversation with him and his family (who eventually left us to it to catch some art) we both knew we wanted to take forward.
Here is the result.

The trajectory of Bastian Voelkel’s career could have easily resembled that of another small-town music aspirant in Germany resting on the wreaths of a secure pensioned job as a teacher at the local music school as his earliest environment might have potentially suggested as the most suitable. The 18-year-old keyboardist however, decided to head synth-in-hand to audition for Europe's most elite university for pop musicians, taking the usual rejections from mainstream German jazz education gracefully in stride. And nailed the audition.
What followed over the years amidst the overwhelming and once-controversial but always innovative Pop-Akademie BW music-business vs music education conundrums and experiments in ‘Ausland-Semesters’ in the Netherlands, was the chance meeting with now long-time band-mate Alice Merton and a tireless and curious work-ethic that led to a Grammy nomination and a few 100 (and counting) shows around the world, earning him the reputation of one of the hardest-working keyboardists in Germany.
I catch up with fellow Nord-artist and fellow Pop-Akademie BW alumni to discuss the importance of understanding space in live music performance, the trials and tribulations of touring internationally as a keyboardist, and the significance of authenticity and loyalty as a musician in this day and age.

While best known for accolades like national and world championship titles in martial arts, being named one of the top 100 trainers in the world by Mens Journal and trainer for elite professionals including the DEA, FBI, Secret Service, and athletes including players for the Phillies, Dodgers, and Eagles, Steve Maxwell's legacy in the world of fitness, health is one that transcends the mere physical with one rare quality that sets him a class apart from most contemporaries: wisdom.
At 70, Maxwell is fitter than many 20-year-olds, still travels the world teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and works intensely with clients and students online, a medium he had mastered decades before digital nomadism or remote work was established as a mainstream form of education.
We address these topics and more in one of his rarest interviews that reveals parts of his past that very few are aware of: his musical upbringing and background.
Additionally, we touch upon many others that the conventional 'fitness' milieu would possibly frown at, including coffee enemas, the power of prayer, unpacking the dichotomies of physical violence and our common passion for astrology.

The heart-centered passion of Ariel Hyatt, when fused with the astute intellect of a deep thinker whose observations on the ever-changing landscape of the global music industry have been the source of guidance for over 100,000 creatives in over 12 countries, results in one of the most appropriate status’s of a true ally for the independent artist in the 21st century.
Founder of one of the most globally respected (NYC-based), artist-development and marketing strategy firms, Cyber PR, and author of 6 books on marketing, crowdfunding, social media, and publicity, (including an #1 Amazon best-seller), Hyatt has been cheerleading independent artists for 26 years and running, helping them take control of their own marketing, leading masterclasses and workshops, earning her a rare brand of credibility in the industry that sets her apart amidst the murky waters that have threatened to demoralize the independent artist from the beginning of time: PR.
In this long-form conversation, we unpack the true meaning behind the same, discuss the challenges of the independent artist attempting to make a post-pandemic ‘comeback’, the struggles we face to connect authentically beyond the shimmer of metrics in a hyper-digitalized age, and the dangers of going about ‘business as usual’ in 2023.
