What Being a Full Time Musician REALLY Looks Like

What’s up guys? 🙂
I hope everyone is healthy and being safe. This virus has taken too many lives already, let’s not let it take any more!

Onto a different, more positive topic. As you can see up there, my second video is up and running. Thanks to my friend Orlin Nikolov for the awesome shot on the Enrique Iglesias C Stage in Sofia, Bulgaria.

This one is a little bit of a mind opener into my life and what it takes to be one of the, as my friend Nomad likes to say, “Career Musicians“.
Sure, we have a blast and get to experience a lot of very cool stuff, but there’s a lot more to it.
This is a short video that I hope you’ll enjoy 🙂

If you have any questions or comments, please go ahead and let me know on the video page, in the comments section preferably 🙂
And of course, I’d love to have you Like the vid and Subscribe to the channel if it suits you.

Stay safe

Hey…Corona, ya know? 
Well, COVID-19 or not, I’ve decided to start sharing some experience tips from the music biz & touring world on the wonderful platform we all know and love – YouTube!

This is the first video of many (thx @Revoldork for the awesome shot on stage)
In it I give 5 tips, things I WISH I knew before I started my current career.
I really hope it helps out a lot of musicians out there and I hope you all Comment, Like & Subscribe.

PLEASE…let me know what YOU want me to talk about or make vids about!
I can’t wait to hear what you guys have in store for me.

And see you again, one day, on the road.

Danimals Planet Podcast

A few months ago we traveled to New Zealand and had the pleasure of playing 3 PACKED TO THE BRIM shows in Gibbston, Taupo & Whitianga with the awesome bands Creedence Clearwater Revisited, Anastacia, George Thorogood & The Destroyers and Billy Idol!

One of the main dudes we clicked with RIGHT away was my new friend Dan Mcguinness (Lead singer and guitarist for CCR).
The dude is H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S!!! 😀

Anyway, when he asked me to be on his podcast (which was really us just chatting and having fun), I said HELL YEAH! 🙂

So, here is our conversation about:
* My weekend in Texas
* Being a Carnivore
* Smash Mouth (and it’s awesome members)
* Enrique Iglesias (and his awesome band)
* What your job really is in big productions like Enrique Iglesias and Smash
Mouth.
* What do you do in Brazil & Uruguay when the airlines lose your luggage
etc etc etc.

Enjoy 🙂

"Ambient Dreams" Album Release

I’ve never been much of an artist in the sense that I want everyone listening to my music. I quite enjoy playing other peoples music.
But, more and more people have been asking to hear my music over the years.
I’ve always told them the same thing…”There really isn’t a place to hear it, it’s just for TV and Film licensing opportunities”.

Between them asking and my wife Tricia constantly telling me people would really enjoy it, I figured, why not 😛

Years ago I sold all my songs. Since then (2017), I’ve made, to date 326 new instrumental songs (called cues in TV World). That’s what I do when I’m not on the road hanging with you awesome human beings 🙂
Well, I’ve decided that I will slowly release these tracks on the different media/music forums.
So from now on, you will slowly be able to get a taste of what I do.
Ambient, Rock, EDM, Urban (Hip Hop/Trap), Folk Acoustic and on and on and on.

My albums will be on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, TikTok/Resso, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Napster, iHeartRadio, ClaroMusica, Saavn, Anghami, KKBox, MediaNet, Instagram/Facebook, Shazam.
Sometimes it takes longer to get them on some of these, so, just be on the lookout if you use a specific forum and I’m not on there yet 😉

This specific album is one I really enjoyed creating. It’s all about vibe, relaxing beats and fun vocal samples I played around with.
Oh, I forgot to mention. If you feel inspired by anything and want to create to it…go right ahead. I’d be happy to collaborate if it feels right (contact@seanhurwitz.com).
Or if you just wanna jam on it and send it to my Insta, I’d love to hear it!
I sincerely hope if you like what you hear that you recommend it to friends, post about it and maybe even comment on the forums that allow you to do so.

Anyway, what it all comes down to is…enjoy the music 🙂
And…stay healthy 😉

See ya out on the road
