Michael Kanne of Northern National has the mentality that you have to make things happen. While many artists and bands make their music and hope to get noticed, Michael hustles day in and day out to create his own opportunities.

In this interview we go over how in Northern National's first year as a band, they've already gotten gigs and opportunities that a lot of bands wait 3-5 years to get. We talk about how he reaches out to blog, how to spread awareness on social media without pissing people off and also some songwriting considerations if you're living in the pop genre.

For any musicians or artist who struggles with the motivation to make stuff happen and get involved in the business aspect of your art, this might be a great interview to put things in perspective.
