Testimonials: “Asher Fulero is not only one of the West Coast’s most reliably excellent keyboardists, he’s increasingly one of the coolest independent producers and composers going today with a reach and comfort level in everything from jazz to jam, electronica to experimental, twangy to Technicolor, and beyond.” — Dennis Cook “"The man is simply a relentless jack of all trades; the diversity in his musical talents is astonishing"” — Lost In Sound “"Asher Fulero is a multi-faceted threat. To call him merely a keyboard virtuoso feels like an insult to his skills as a producer, creator, and all-around artist."” — Lunacy Audio Links: Website: https://asherfulero.com/ IG: @asherfulero YouTube: @AsherFulero | @asherfuleroband2551 _______ Click Here For 10% Off Your Total Purchase From Black Box Prompter! https://blackboxprompter.com/?coupon=secondhandtalent ________ Chapters 00:00 Opening Credits 00:28 Introducing Asher Fulero: A First-Hand Talent 02:47 Musical Influences and Early Experiences 08:47 Realizing a Career in Music 15:29 The Importance of Secondhand Talent 18:40 The Ecosystem of Music Promotion 23:04 The Journey of a Musician: Equipment and Learning 29:33 Recording Experiences and Studio Insights 36:38 Catching Air: The Story Behind the Album 50:39 The Birth of Full Arrow Records 55:26 The Vinyl Resurgence and Its Impact 01:02:31 Artistry and Endurance in Music Support the show With "Secondhand Talent", we want to devote a platform to taking moments to shine the spotlight on those that manage the spotlights.
