We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Phillip DeMarlowe. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Phillip below.

Phillip, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Innovation comes in all shapes, sizes and across all industries, so we’d love to hear about something you’ve done that you feel was particularly innovative.

When I was a teenager, I had a period where I was enthralled by all things 1970s. The television shows, fashion, music, and anything pertinent to the culture of that era. During this phase, I fell in love with shows like The Partridge Family and began daydreaming about being able to record in a studio setting.

So I started to learn more about equipment, software, and found that in addition to my love of music, I was also passionate about the science behind recording and then mixing music.

With the tried and true method of trial and error, I started putting together my own studio.

Fast forward to about ten years later (today), I feel so blessed to be able to record at my own facility with access to an array of instruments, microphones, and software.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I’m a musician and songwriter who enjoys adventure and being creative.

I’ve been playing music formally for over a decade, and that passion led to me taking up photography, fashion design, and a plethora of other interests.

I have my own recording studio and while I primarily focus on my own projects, I enjoy collaboration on occasion.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

For music and my other interests like photography, my best strategy has always been just doing it.

I remember for my early recording and photo shoot efforts, it seemed like a challenge (and inspiration) at times starting from scratch. I wanted each project to be a masterpiece, but I found my efforts turned out much better when just relaxing and not placing so much pressure on one shoot or song.

Life has a natural ebb and flow that I try to follow in my creative pursuits too.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

I think in the beginning, at times I was afraid to ask questions out of fear of being seen as a beginner.

Nowadays, I’d rather be the one who asks the “stupid” questions if it means I learn something new of gain perspective.
