Episode 262 features Kelsey from MYM Visuals. She is a music photographer in the Baltimore area who has worked with all types of bands and is currently shooting live shows all over the region. I wanted to have her on the pod because of our mutual background in the Fire Department and I wanted to help tell her story. Also, I aimed to release this episode this week in particular because I am dropping a new song today called '911,' which is highly personal and germane to our conversation. The new track is featured on this episode and The Hollow Truths Spotify. We did an in-depth interview about our shared experiences transitioning from the Fire/EMS world to working in the arts. Kelsey was able to share many inspiring personal stories that highlight her perseverance and strength. If you are looking for fresh content for your band, I believe you will enjoy collaborating with her. She is not only talented but also a great person as well. I am happy to see her business continue to grow and recommend that you check out @mymvisuals online if you are interested in her work and/or booking her for a show. Thanks for listening and supporting local art.
