Episode 7: Finding Your Voice with Ila Minori

• Episode Description

  During today’s chat with Erica Monzón (aka: Ila Minori), we learn about Erica’s journey from open mic night to national tours, the significance of mentorship and community support, and why you should be practicing right now.
  
  As a self proclaimed late bloomer in a family full of musicians, Erica walks us from being the good drama-free kid through cadging chords from her musician friends to keeping her band fed on the road. She takes us through her musical genealogy on route to finding her own voice.
  
  As an adult who spends her time in the classroom and her weekends in the studio and on the road, this episode packs a punch for the artist who is thinking about starting and/or maintaining a career in music.
