Jeremy Pelt - Interest over ambition
In this episode, Monica talks with trumpeter, educator, and producer, Jeremy Pelt. They discuss his experience as a producer, and the importance of having a clear vision and looking at a project as a whole. They talk in depth about his composition process, and some behind the scenes details about some of his pieces, how he’s always listening to music, and what inspires him. He shares some of the “messing around” that he’s currently doing with the extra time he has right now, their mutual love for the bass, and how interest, love and curiosity is vital to any artist at any level.
