44phantom is an artist that I am so inspired and impressed by! He's already signed to Columbia Records at the age of 19 and has such a good understanding of the music industry and what it takes to be a successful artist.
We talk about putting out meaningful music, the importance of a good live show, and how he grew up studying other artists online and applied those lessons to his own project to ultimately get out of his small hometown.
