Turn Your Talent Into A Lasting Legacy w/ Ulysses Owens, Jr., Musician&Author - a podcast by Allen C. Paul

How do you shift from simply trying to 'make it' in the music industry, to truly building a sustainable, lasting legacy as a creative and entrepreneur?

Jazz musician, educator, author and creative entrepreneur Ulysses Owens, Jr. has found the key, and he's sharing it in this powerful interview, as well as in his book, "The Musician's Career Guide: Turning your Talent into Sustained Success."

A native of Jacksonville, FL, Ulysses spent his formative years playing in church and local gigs, but quickly achieved worldwide recognition and acclaim as one of jazz's brightest stars as a drummer, band leader and composer. Having toured the world with artists like Kurt Elling, Gregory Porter and Joey Alexander, and recording several of his own projects, this Grammy award winning musician and producer has become a leader as an educator and advocate for creative innovation.

In this episode Ulysses shares his experiences as a young drummer, and explains how a dedication to creative mastery can lead to a wealth of opportunities. He passionately breaks down the reasons why creatives and musicians should look beyond the immediate rewards of success, to truly build brands and projects that benefit both their communities and future generations.
