Ep. 72: Being Everywhere, Writing Everything, and Supporting Everyone with Zaq Baker

If you've ever felt like you're shouting into the void with your music, you're not alone. There’s so much noise out there, and it’s easy to slip into scarcity mode and to think the only way forward is to focus on yourself, hustle harder, and tune everything else out. But what if the real key to momentum is showing up for others? This week, I sat down with my friend and longtime collaborator Zaq Baker — a wildly versatile artist who’s played in half the bands in town, released a steady stream of deeply personal songs, and just dropped his debut novel, Unspectacular. Zaq has built a career not just through talent, but by being deeply involved — supporting fellow musicians, collaborating across genres, and making it a point to be there for other people’s art. We talk about why that matters and how it’s come back to support his own career in multiple ways. We also get into: The ripple effects of actually showing up to shows Why amplifying other artists’ work can open doors for your own The overlap between writing a novel and writing songs How to manage (and finish!) multiple creative projects without losing your mind Practical ways to build a healthier, more connected local music scene Whether you're feeling stuck, burned out, or just wondering how to grow your career without selling your soul, this one’s worth your time.
