E111 - Replaying the Game: Music, Art & Life with PHANGS

Jake Germany AKA 'Phangs' is a Musician & Creative Director.

This week I sit down (virtually) with Phangs, who's real name I did NOT just learn in the conversation...an incredibly talented artist whose journey from creating Myspace layouts to designing for Bad Bunny is a real fun one to cover! We dive into his creative process, how he balances multiple artistic endeavors, and the importance of following our gut feelings. He shares candid insights about his transition from DIY projects to professional success, the value of empathy, and maintaining authenticity with his fans. We also discuss his early life, the impact of his musical upbringing, early bands and musical endeavours that lead to 'Phangs' as a project, and how being certain in his process of setting and achieving goals has shaped his career. Join us as we explore the ups and downs of Phangs' journey and uncover what truly makes him tick!
