E107 - Beyond the Music Industry w/ Anthony Craparotta of Lyricvidsdotcom

What You Don't Hear

Anthony Craparotta is a musician and Founder of @lyricvidsdotcom

This week it’s a virtual chat with Anthony as we take a deep dive into the music & creative industries. From his start in music and pursuing that passion, to becoming a signed artist and touring the world, to then retiring from that and starting up his business making lyric videos that now crafts visuals for some of the entertainmnet industries top artists, brands and labels!

Within that, we really dig into authenticity in music and business in general. We uncover the mirage of chasing fame, finding what’s truly important to us, his decision to stop making music and enter a new creative venture, how the business grew to where it’s at today working with major artists, making it a family business with his Wife and Sister being included, finding your personal “why” behind creative journeys, how art is consumed nowadays, toxic clients, and staying true to yourself while pursuing passions, along with a ton more!
