On episode forty-seven of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with the talented country singer, Alannah McCready! Alannah shares stories from her early years, growing up with a love for music she got from her mom. After college, a career change paused her journey in music while she moved to New York. She reflects on the moment she realized music was her true passion, sparking her return to the stage. We dive into the realities of the music industry, discussing the financial challenges of streaming and what Alannah considers a successful track. Alannah also breaks news into her upcoming projects, including her new single "It's Fine," set to release in 2024. Additionally, we touch on the unique experiences of performing live, from playing for tips to getting creative when taking song requests. Lastly, Alannah says who she wants to "Put On A Platform."
