Pejman Roozbeh

Does craft or musicianship matter anymore? Are the most "successful" artists the ones who can navigate and toggle between artistry and social media? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I am thrilled to welcome Los Angeles based musician/producer and friend, Pejman Roozbeh, to the show. Pejman's stage/artist name is Funk Fiction where he produces and blends 80's, disco, funk and fusion all into a unique musical style that is fresh and super cool. I spent the weekend listening to his catalog of music and I was instantly hooked. Pejman just released a new record called Dystopian Waters which is influenced by the book, The Outlaw Ocean by Ian Urbina. I met Pejman almost five years ago at a DJ mixer and I was immediately drawn to his thoughtful demeanor and approach to music and artistry. Pejman and I have a wonderful talk about music, his process as an artist and where he draws his inspiration from and we also talk about the often head-scratching world of social media and its impact on creativity. We also discuss some of the topical issues happening in our culture and the influence the media may have on the global narrative. Be sure to follow Pejman on Instagram by clicking HERE where he's known as @funkysynths. Also be sure to listen to his band Funk Fiction which is available on all streaming platforms. If you enjoy the show, there are a few things you can do that would be incredibly helpful.
