Nashville based singer-songwriter Kira Small’s strong, sexy, whiskey-tinged soul music has won her a loyal fanbase. She is a nationally touring artist, 2015 International Songwriting Competition Finalist, 2012 Independent Music Awards winner and former member of Berklee College of Music’s Voice Faculty. Her voice, which has a rare blend of jazz, soul and blues, has also made her one of Nashville’s most in-demand session vocalists. She’s toured or recorded with Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Peter Frampton and Wynona Judd. The Grammy award-winning songwriter Mike Reid summed her up best by saying that she “sounds like a neat glass of single malt in a world of Michelob Ultra”.
In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast Kira talks about releasing her epic break up album entitled "3 am". She tells us about her new website, new blog series and her tour dates. She also shares with us how singing came first before she could talk, how she started and developed her writing in Nashville.

I love reading books about creativity, the creative process and how we generate and develop new ideas.
I read a lot of books and I have put together some of my Top 10 creativity books. Here are some of the creativity books from my list:
In this episode of The Creative Life TV Show, I put together a 'give away' where you could win my Top 10 creativity books. All you have to do is go to www.jamestaylor.me/giveaways/creativity-books/
Transcript:
When I talk to creative people and ask them to describe their goals in their career and work, they often describe it to me in very vague way. More like dreams rather than goals.
When setting goals we have the S.M.A.R.T, P.U.R.E and C.L.E.A.R goals.
S.M.A.R.T stands for S- Specific, M- Measurable, A - Attainable, R- Relevant and T- Time based.
P.U.R.E stands for P - Pure, U- Understood, R - Relevant, E- Ethical.
C.L.E.A.R stands for C- Challenging, L- Legal, E- Environmentally Sound, A- Agreed, R- Recorded.
The more of these components you can pick off when you set a goal and write that goal down, the more likely you are to achieve it. You have to know clearly in your head what that goal is and how to define it.

Chantel McGregor is a UK based guitarist and 'mindmapping' singer-songwriter, recently named Guitarist of the Year at the British Blues Awards. A female guitar prodigy she studied guitar at Leeds College of Music and became the first student in the college’s history to achieve a 100% pass mark, with 18 distinctions and a first class honours. Since then she has built a loyal and growing fanbase with one critic saying “Chantel McGregor deserves to be held up as a messiah of blues-rock and given her own mountain. She doesn’t strum or pick her guitar but almost bends and distorts it, as if she’s channeling the ghost of Hendrix through her fingers”.
In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast Chantel tells us about how her dad encouraged and taught her to play guitar. She also talks about her experiences from doing jam sessions and the artists and songs that inspired her playing. Chantel shares with us her obsession with Stevie Nicks.
"If this is your dream go for it, but you have to be prepared to sacrifice everything to do it. It is hard work."

In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast I talk with Tony Succar who was born into a family of talented musicians in Lima, Peru before moving to Miami, Florida when he was just two years old. Growing up in a household imbued with rhythm it was no surprise that at the tender age of 13, Tony began his own career as a musician, initially starting on piano before moving to percussion.
Since then he has worked with some of the greats of Latin music including Arturo Sandoval, Nestor Torres and Tito Puente Jr. You could say that Tony Succar lives a creative and polyrhythmic life, being the President of his own entertainment company as well as a bandleader, percussionist, producer, composer and arranger. His latest project Unity features more than 100 musicians and gives a Latin spin to the music of Michael Jackson.
Tony talks about the development of his project "Unity: The Latin Tribute To Michael Jackson album. He tells us about his mentors and teachers and how he fell in love with percussion. He also shares with us about him being a competitive person and having music as his passion and as his life.
"Talent is something that many people will have, but what's gonna separate you from the rest is your work ethic."

Marcel Wanders is an Amsterdam based designer who first came to the worlds attention through his ‘Knotted Chair’, which pairs high tech materials with low tech production methods. Since then Marcel and his team have worked on over 1700 projects for clients ranging from Alessi and MAC cosmetics to KLM and Puma. The New York Times dubbed him the “Lady Gaga of Design” while Business Week selected him as one of Europe’s '25 Leaders of Change'. Marcel focuses on bringing the human touch back to design, ushering in what he calls design’s ‘new age’, in which designer, craftsperson and user are reunited. He also serves on the advisory board of THNK, School of Creative Leadership and is a co-founder of the successful design label Moooi.
In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast Marcel tells us about moving to Milan and stepping out from his own culture. He talks about doing experimental work in San Francisco with start- ups and also shares with us how he got hooked on design.
"Experiments are made to get results."
"If we don't have order, then we get nothing done and if we cannot have our chaotic process and it's only order, we get something done, but it will never be super great. We need each other to be outstanding."
"You'll only loose the game if you stop playing."
-Marcel Wanders
