Mike Cykoski is the man behind New York arty, literate indie-pop music project A Is For Atom. Mike has always been a fearless composer, drawing inspiration from time honored pop-rock songcraft, literature, classical and avant-garde music to create his signature sound. After studying music at Juilliard, NYU, Harvestworks and Dubspot his epiphany came when a friend invited him to check out some electronic acts. He says “These artists had guitars, computers, and their voice, and witnessing that opened so many creative doors. It made me feel like I could finally produce what I heard in my head”.
In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast Mike talks about writing electronic music, his shows and tours around north America, Mexico, Austin Texas, New York City, Toronto and Brooklyn. He tells us about how amazing the Canadian Music Week event was and also shares with us where his classical music influence came from within his family.
"When you're planting a garden, you gotta establish the roots and give it time."

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."

Olivia Tarplin is a Jersey City based academic, writer, researching and speaker on gender, politics, sexuality and the media. Focusing on the thriving industry of feminist pornography, she has spent the past 3 years studying how it can be used to change sexual culture and educate the masses about sex.

Instead she chose to study Global Studies at The New School in New York which has led her onto the exciting work she does today.
In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast, Olivia tells us about her day job in a marketing firm in Manhattan, continuing her research on feminist pornography and sex education as well as researching more on feminist pornography and its relationship with economics. She talks to us about going to The New School to study psychology and she shares with us about attending a book reading at the Bluestockings Bookstore and getting hooked on the The Feminist Porn Book by Tristan Taormino.
