Layto: Dropping Out Of College, Creating Core Creative Team, TikTok Triumphs, and alternative psycho
On this episode of Grounds For Success, which also happens to be our last episode for season 1, we have the artist Layto!
From almost becoming an English major with dreams of law school to successfully strumming his way into the music industry-this episode is packed with a real-world story of how surrounding yourself with the right team can change everything for you as a creative. Layto generously pulls back the curtain on his journey, sharing insights into his early creativity, his life-changing decision to become a full-time musician and a hilarious story that led to his first manager (who has since been replaced by Garrett Ream)
Both Layto and I delve into our experiences working with individuals who've had pivotal roles in our creative journeys, as well as how important the power of perseverance and hard work can be for your career. We will learn about Layto's album "alternative psycho," an album I mixed and mastered, and the rest of the team who worked on it, including my friend Inverness who executive produced the album, and my friend Brandyn Burnette, who wrote and sang on several of the songs.
Lastly, Layto shares how he tapped into the power of content creation, using platforms like TikTok to gain exposure, and how a single song opened the doors to thousands of TH-cam views and unprecedented opportunities. In the world of music, success is far from guaranteed. Layto's story shows, that with self-belief, the right team, and a touch of serendipity, it's possible.

    Krewella’s success feel so personal as a Pakistani. We in Pakistan/India discovered krewella a bit late, after they featured in CokeStudio and we are hooked to their music ever since. Zer0 dropped after that created waves in the subcontinent as they integrated more of their Pakistani roots in their music. They are probably the only Pakistani/American artists who own their culture and never fear showing it be it their videos, their concerts. Love to see them spreading the positive side of Pakistan. ❤ Love krewella and miss them!

    Wow thank you so much for this deep dive interview, I've always been a fan of ISS and always wondered where their authenticity and passion came from because that is what attracts me to their music. Raw, real, and authentic just like this interview. I've read a few books on music engineering because I wanted to learn WHY do I like the music I like? I am also a student at UCB and really am interested in the neurological angle of music. Doing so made me have a newfound appreciation for the topics you hit in this interview such as the constant listening to artists that inspire us, will always keep listening to this band as long as they keep putting out records. It's almost a need or a craving to keep listening.

    Even if it's tragic, I really got ABSORBED when Caroline explained the death of Tristan ! Very good at story telling I also liked the idea of the «outlier», I believe this is accurate Plus, the fact that she got crazy opportunities in 2020 and the necklace story made me think about something I lived too this year, wearing a special necklace, leading to crazy opportunities (there is no coincidence !!)

    I feel uncomfortably comfortable getting to know Devin through this interview. It feels so sad to hear about a broken childhood, watching him shaking and getting nervous a couple of times during recreation of his past. 🫂On the other hand he seems to be mentally strong and open-minded when it comes to learning new stuff which is great for his own evolution as a musician. It looks like he is the person that could be a real friend no matter the time or the situation.☺️ P.S. This was a hell of an interview 🙃

  • @goodapolloimburningstariv7539
    @goodapolloimburningstariv7539 ปีที่แล้ว

    Messed up how they refused to talk about the best member of the band. They talked about how when you lose one member’s input, the band loses something that brought fans to them in the first place. The best example of that being Zach, and why Treehouse is their worst album. Devin is ridiculously gifted, but Zach’s unique and amazing screams are what really made the band. With him gone, they will never be as great as they were. Put some respect on his name.

    • @GroundsForSuccess
      @GroundsForSuccess ปีที่แล้ว

      I respect your point of view here. Thanks for listening to the podcast. I'd like to say though, that Devin didn't refuse to talk about Zach, I just didn't ask about him because truthfully I didn't know that someone wasn't in the band any longer. I host my podcast without doing significant research so that I can have an organic conversation with my guest and allow it to flow in whichever way it goes.
