I was first introduced to my good friend John Harvey by our mutual bro Dave Fowler. At the time, John was the guy who was thumping away on the bass guitar with the emo band Secondhand Serenade.

During his touring days, John also played with artists like Jessie James Decker, Jackson Harris, Williams Honor, Natalie Stovall to name a few.

Nowadays John keeps busy composing original music for TV and movies while also running various successful side hustles and business ventures.

John is amongst my favorite conversationalists and deep thinkers and today we walk through his incredible musical journey and trace back his work ethic while taking several tangents along the way that I thoroughly enjoyed and I think you will too.

John is a complex guy, but somehow manages to keep things simple. He's a big believer in sticking to your guns, rolling with the punches, and he seems to have found an uncanny way to being ok with switching gears and leaving ego out of it, which for a musician is a rather rare accomplishment.

We talked about the digital world as a whole and how social media can be a tool that both connects us and throw us off our game, making us question our self-worth and the quality of our connections. It's a tricky balance, but he's navigated it with eyes wide open, aiming for real, meaningful interactions in a world that’s always online.

This chat is for anyone who’s ever wondered how to keep their creative spark alive while staying true to themselves in a digitized, often impersonal world. Whether you’re an artist, a musician, or someone with a dream and a day job, there’s something in John’s story for you.
