Totally get what you mean about art from the heart. It's a fine line when money gets involved, right?

Thank you for tuning in ! Appreciate all the support.

Your kind words mean a lot! Thank you for sharing your positive energy here.

@@OutspokenArtist you inspired me to interview my friends ✨🌟 I used to live in nsw and have fond memories of Queensland as a kid. There’s a vibe from Australia that will never leave me.

That's awesome to hear! Interviews with friends can lead to some amazing conversations and memories. Those fond memories are what we carry with us as we travel this crazy journey we call life right?

@@OutspokenArtist It's so true and even through the years as to what did they used to do. And well for now Canada's getting kind of weird and a lot of people have moved to the states or even further away. So now I kind of have to because they don't live here any more so embracing the technology is wonderous when you think what we have at our fingertips. And you do have it my friend. Memories are the songs. So hopefully we make good ones;) Much appreciated and keep up the good work!

I want to say he was 9? Fairly new to the Handpan from talking to him and his mom.

It's heartwarming to see their special bond shine through in the video.

Thank YOU for being a guest totally impromptu. You were awesome to have on the show.

@@OutspokenArtist it was awesome!

You're absolutely right! Sunni is a bright light, and his mom deserves a ton of credit for nurturing his talent and creativity. Thanks for watching!

Hi there, Thank you so much for your lovely comment about Sunni! We're so glad you enjoyed their music. Sunni is definitely a special young talent, and their passion for spreading positivity is truly inspiring. We hear you about sharing it with your talented filmmaker grandson - that sounds wonderful! We hope they both continue to bring joy to the world through their creative pursuits.

Hi there! Wow, thank YOU for such a thoughtful comment! It was truly a pleasure interviewing Sunni, and their passion for music and spreading positivity really shines through. Their motto of "bringing positivity and making people smile" perfectly captures the essence of their music. It's a gift that truly connects with others, and I loved hearing about the loving support they receive from their family.

🙏💜

A Beautiful New Child of the Earth!!!!

I will agree! He is truly a talented young man.

Yes she did! Her passion to support her kids journey in the arts is admirable.

Its interesting because the conversation you see on CZcams is but a portion of what I got to talk with Sunni and his family. There was a conversation prior and an even longer after we were done recording. His younger sister supports her brother; she herself is a visual artist in the making. Whether through paint or color pencils, that is where she expresses her creativity. Overall, the family is supportive of one another and all share in each other's journey. Hope that helped answer your question Thank you for tuning in and hope to keep sharing great videos for folks like yourself :)

I really don’t think you killed her journey. It just wasn’t her journey.

@@OutspokenArtist Thank you very much for answering my question. I feel that I can now continue to enjoy watching Sunni’s musical journey.

@@mendynoma4272 Of course, thank you for watching and being part of the channel :)

Thank you it was an honor getting a chance to speak with Sunni.

I couldn't agree more! He is wonderful not only at his craft and also very mature for his age.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment. I am really glad you enjoyed my conversation with him and his mom. Ironically enough, I had the opportunity to talk to them even more after the interview and they are just absolutely wonderful. Not sure if you can do it but if you can paste a link to your blog, I'd love to check it out. Thanks for tuning in.

Thank you! I really appreciate you tuning into the channel and supporting Sunni's journey.

Thank you for tuning in!

That is wonderful to hear that his music helps you find relaxation. The song name is fantastic. Thank you for listening.

The man, the legend!

Thank you! It was also great getting to meet and know you at Imaging! Can't wait until we run into one another at a conference or event.

@@OutspokenArtist likewise, friend!!

I couldn't agree more! I hope his music continues to bring him joy.

The hand pan is like a musical UFO, it's out of this world!

He truly is a talented child and who knows what all is ahead of him with his music given his talent at such a young age.

Hey Victor, thanks a ton for the love and support! Sunni's music is truly something special, right?

That is awesome! Yes he is a talented young man and has inspired many to get into this type of music; it is truly relaxing and fun to play the handpan.

@@OutspokenArtist I’ve always liked steel drum bands. I’m excited to get my drum. Should be here any minute. 😊

100% on both. He is a great kid and his mom is truly a supporter of the arts for children.

The good thing is, that outside of this recording, I got a chance to talk to them before and after for over an hour; he is still just a kid being a kid. Loves soccer, playing with friends and doing all that fun stuff. To your point, if it gets to be too much pressure, then absolutely, that might be a sign to slow down.

glad to hear! :) @@OutspokenArtist

I couldn't agree more. He is truly a fascinating kid and seems to be enjoying life quite a bit.

Thank you, that truly does mean a lot to me. Appreciate you tuning in.

That's a great name for the song.

*Screeching Noise at Gary's level* lol I had a blast and glad you were able to make a guest appearance at the end.

Thank you for your kind words! Making music organically on the guitar is such a rewarding process.

I could not agree more with that statement about Sunni. He is amazing at his craft.

Thank you for such kind words. He is indeed a gift and how naturally the music comes to him goes to show what natural talent looks like. Thank you for tuning in.

He's definitely a very talented young man with a bright future ahead of him.

That's a great title! Suits the mood of the song.

Hey there! Thank you for tuning in and for your lovely comment. It means a lot to me! Hope that the pan practice goes great and that you continue on your musical journey.

Thank you so much for the kind words; the world will hopefully hear and see more of Sunni so they can understand how beautiful his musical talent is.

Thank you so much for the support. Carl is a great guy and I highly recommend you check out his FB page Coffee with Carl. Even more info there.

I really appreciate that. Too many great people out there that should be showcased and I'm happy I can make that happen. The ultimate goal being that my guests have a safe space to express how they feel without judgement. Their voice to be heard.

Truly appreciate it! I had a great time getting to know him and glad to have been able to share it with the world.

Thank you for the kind words. Sunni is beyond talented and I can't wait to see his growth as an arstist

Thank you! I hope people listen to all of it so they can see all the wonderful info Sunni and his mom shared with the world.

It truly is beautiful music. Really made me follow this genre of music.

Be careful Handpans can change your life!@@OutspokenArtist

Oh we have one in the household now and its quite soothing to the ear. I can see the appeal for sure.

Thank you, which language are you referring to so I can fix?

Nevermind, I see what you mean now. Thank you for letting me know as I will fix it now.

He truly is amazing and I am honored to have had him in on the show.

I don't believe we touched on that but what kind of pricing are you interested in?

@@OutspokenArtist just a general price for schools and parents. How much per child? Does the school pay the session fee? Etc etc

@@info.CashProgram-li8wu I understand now. What I would recommend is checking out his FB and I believe he has an Instagram too called Coffee with Carl. He talks a lot about that and also he had a workshop coming up too. Hope that helps somewhat

@@info.CashProgram-li8wu what I can tell you from personal knowledge; most schools don't pay anything. Public schools normally have bids for contracts and they outline exactly how much each photo package should be and what the commission of sales (%) will go back to the school. Private and smaller non-public education facilities normally will not have such strict conditions, but usually get some form of commission as well. From what I gathered, the average "per student" ranges around $20-$40. I'd reach out to Carl as he is the pro on it.

A lesson I quickly learned about my K688 microphone lol. Well, this way people know now what happens if you turn on Phantom on a non-condenser microphone real time.

Or if you use an inline pre-amp like a fethead or cloud lifter

@@koolpep Well ok, but that power isn't for the mic, it's for the preamp. In-line preamps aren't required for the vast majority of dynamic mic setups and are a thing nowadays mostly because the SM7B. A good mic for sure, but not the magic bullet people get led to believe.

@@rangersmith4652totally agree with you. Modern interfaces really don’t need an in-line pre-amp anymore. Just wanted to highlight that thi is another application for the phantom power. I use a fethead germanium with my EV R20, not for the gain but for the harmonics it induces which works well with my voice and the R20.

@@koolpep Could either of you educate me? What would be the benefit of a pre-amp (perhaps not on the Fifine Microphone) but overall?
