We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jude Wallace. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jude below.
Jude, appreciate you joining us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
I took the biggest risk of my adult life last year to pursue music full time. I moved away from my home town, left a relationship that was hindering my purpose, started pursuing a masters degree, quit my full time job and began working on music full time. This all happened within a month or two. I can truly say this was something my soul needed. It was very scary and overwhelming at first because I was branching out of my comfort zone in almost every aspect but being able to truly invest and put my all into my music got me through it. I am so grateful that I chose myself and did what I needed to do for me as an artist. Now, I am getting ready to release my first full length album because of a risk I took a year ago.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal in my creative journey is always to spread love. Loving one another, loving ourselves, the act and art of love is just so ethereal and we need more of that in this world. Music can connect people and heal communities and I aim to be a part of that process. I love writing and performing because it releases so many emotions for me and I love being able to do that for someone else with my music as well. My hope is that my love for music and other people can be felt from others while listening to my music and inspire them to spread love.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
One of the best ways to support artists and creatives is to specifically support local music. All of the mainstream creatives that influence our generation started as local artists at some point. So don’t be afraid to go out to a show with local bands and dance to their music! Or give that local artist a follow on social media and see what they are up to! Even just buying merch at a local show can help bands with something as simple as gas money or studio time. Supporting local music goes a really long way and helps keep the music scene alive with new talent!
