How To Art
How To Art is a podcast for the artists, for the musicians, and for the dream chasers. Every episode, we’ll explore and discuss a specific facet of what it takes to be an artist (whatever your craft may be), to leave a boring day job and survive, to hone your talent, and to inch toward living on your own terms. Additionally, we'll review three recent music releases (one large/major label release, one mid-sized artist, and one small/indie project). How To Art is hosted by rapper/poet Petravita, and certified studmuffin Sebastian Lejon.

(Pre-episode/Archive): Pauses Aren't Endings, It's OK To Take A Break.
In this episode, we dive into the effect that pauses, interruptions, and extended absences from a passion can have on our productivity and, most importantly, discuss the fact that a pause or a lull in the action does not mean an end to something. Sometimes life pulls our attention towards other needs, but this doesn't mean your dreams fall by the wayside. This topic is perfect considering it's been a few months - yikes! - since the last episode.

(Pre-episode/Archive): My 3 Big Wins (and how to get yours)
In this episode, we dive deep into how focusing LESS upon your end-goals can actually help you achieve them more quickly. We look at how focusing on smaller, more incremental wins has led me to some massive victories in my music and streaming careers over the past few weeks, and extract some lessons from those wins that you can apply to your own creative passions as well.
