We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Aaron Bowen a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Aaron thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Are you able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen?
Before the pandemic I was working full time as a performing musician and music producer/engineer traveling to Europe a few times a year for shows with the label i was signed to More Than Folk Records France then with the downtime I was learning the craft of guitar building from my friend Connor of high spirit guitars here in San Diego then it just took off now I’m building and selling guitars to lots of wonderful artist all over the world
Aaron , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
As a music engineer and producer I have been able to help get the best from the artist, helping them realise their potential and see the dream of the music inside them reach the audience
as a guitar builder I feel like I’m making unique electric guitars that sound a bit above the rest
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
To be myself, to create the music, art and guitars I want listen to and find the artist that are willing to share my vision
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The outlet getting these things inside me out into the world, sharing and hopefully inspiring others to be themselves
