What does it really take to build a lasting career in music beyond talent, trends, and technology?

In this episode of Artists Unveiled, Holiday sits down with Spencer Hattendorf, a New York–based producer, mix engineer, and songwriter whose work spans pop, R&B, indie, and beyond. Spencer opens up about the long road from band life and corporate jobs to full-time music, and how collaboration, not isolation, changed everything.

This conversation goes deep into what music creation actually looks like behind the scenes: learning to co-write, building trust in the studio, balancing creativity with commerce, and why “doing it alone” is one of the biggest myths in modern music culture.

We talk about:

• Why collaboration often creates better art than solo work

• The hidden cost of grinding alone

• How technology changed music—for better and worse

• Finding your people and building a creative community

• Turning setbacks into pivots instead of dead ends

• Why vibe, trust, and honesty matter more than perfection

This episode is for artists, producers, songwriters, and anyone navigating a creative career and wondering if they’re doing it “the right way.”

In this episode of Artists Unveiled, we sit down with Barb Morrison to talk about what actually happens inside a studio, beyond the gear, beyond the credits, beyond the finished song.

Barb has spent decades working as a producer, songwriter, and mentor, collaborating with artists across genres and generations. But what stands out most in this conversation isn’t her résumé, it’s her approach. Barb believes that the studio is a vulnerable space, and that how an artist is treated in that room can shape not just a song, but their confidence, trust, and creative future.

We talk about the difference between technical skill and emotional intelligence in production, why some artists leave sessions inspired while others leave scarred, and how hearing truth in music requires more than just trained ears. Barb shares how her early years recording on cassette and four-track machines trained her to hear potential where others hear flaws, and why mentorship, patience, and real experience still matter in an age of shortcuts.

This episode also explores the business side of creativity, how careers are built slowly, why doing the work for love comes before money, and how producers can create environments where artists feel safe enough to take risks. At its core, this is a conversation about responsibility: what it means to guide, support, and collaborate without ego.

If you care about music as a living process, not just a product, this episode offers an honest look at what makes creative work meaningful, sustainable, and human.

In this episode of Artists Unveiled, we sit down with Robert Greene, actor, educator, director, and playwright, whose career has been built through consistency, preparation, and a deep respect for the craft.

Robert has portrayed some of the most recognizable figures in history, including Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, and Thelonious Monk. But what stood out most in this conversation wasn’t the scale of the roles, it was how intentionally he separates himself from them. For Robert, being able to leave the theater and not be recognized isn’t about disappearing. It’s about knowing the character lived fully, independently of him.

We talk about what it actually takes to sustain a role over years, how preparation evolves once the script is memorized, and why listening, not performing, is often the hardest part of acting. Robert shares how his approach to Mandela changed over time, how stillness became more powerful than delivery, and how responsibility shows up when you’re playing a figure the world already thinks it knows.

The conversation also moves into discipline, leadership within an ensemble, and how artists learn to show up even when life is heavy. From navigating grief while performing, to understanding when to push through discomfort versus when to protect your well-being, Robert is honest about the parts of the work that aren’t visible to the audience.

This episode is about longevity. About treating art as a responsibility, not a moment.
And about why preparation, patience, and self-awareness matter more than recognition.
