EXCLUSIVE:Richie Cunning & DJ Bad DJ Break Down the Artist Dilemma during COVID19 Shelter in Place

IN the 9th Episode of the Sam Jack Podcast: I'm Not a Professional But Wait, I Am!...we welcome DJ Bad DJ and Richie Cunning, "...He is known only as Richie Cunning and there are very few people that even know of his existence. Countless believers have reported first-hand sightings, claiming to have seen him drinking from a flask on a bus station bench in the middle of the night or even fast asleep on a bus station bench in the middle of the night. However, gentlemen and scholars both maintain that he is nothing more than a myth. A drunken ghost in the collective subconscious of modern society. Many have tried to understand him, but there is only one way to truly understand that which is Richie Cunning. You must leave your world behind and step into his realm....a place thought to exist only in fairy tales and ugly areas of downtown San Francisco. Your journey begins now...." Host DJ LumbaJack chats with Richie Cunning and Steb "DJ BAD DJ" Montez amid the Shelter in Place, how that is affecting their creative process, if at all and the etiquette of running without a mask. Perhaps none were as prepared to live such solitude as Richie who already lives an introverted life, lost in his thoughts at home with his words composed together the only way to process such ponder. Live shows being his main exposure to the the outside world, whether performing or witnessing, that is the only thing he is missing from the Shelter in Place. Otherwise, he is eating well, exercising & alone to further ponder thoughts, composing them down into the lyrics of his music. As we further discuss this process, Richie laments on all the perfection he's strived for & comes to a realization: Perfection slows down the process. He's spent the past several years striving for just that, while slowing himself down. Sometimes, you can be your worst critic. In that vein, we talk about juggling a full time job and how that balances his artistic creativity. Fortunately, he is blessed to be working at the Academy of Science and helps with their live events. He talks a bit how they have had to shift to live streaming events, and how well received they have been despite the disconnect and other challenges. For Steb aka DJ Bad DJ, he has a nice home studio he's been able to stay focused with. Unfortunately, the radio station he works at, KRML has furloughed him, but he focuses on spending time with is family while being able to work remotely on music production. Check out the whole interview, as we was poetically about the Elbo Room, Pandemic Conspiracies and the hot new trend of VS battles on IG Live. Things get silly at times but we are always focused on giving insight and opinion to living life independently. Social Media Handles: @richiecunning @djbaddj Don't forget to like, share,
