Darien Castro's video: Staying positive as musicians during Social Distancing Quarantine

A few days ago, I felt suddenly inspired to make some sort of video with tips on how to stay productive as a musician, singer songwriter, artist ect. during this crazy virus crisis. There's enough info out about the actual virus already (some misleading), so I thought I would talk about how we can still progress with our own music journeys without performing live. Awareness is crucial, but over consumption of negative content won't help us advance with our current circumstances. This is a pretty sudden change for a lot of us, but I've figured out a few things that help me stay positive in dark times; with developing my guitar and singing skills, workshopping my original songs, and staying in check with all things mental health during this crazy time. l know a lot of people are struggling w staying positive right now, so if I can help motivate any performers severely effected by this quarantine/ stay home situation... that makes me happy:) Alsooo, stay tuned for the end where I quickly chat about how some life changes the last weekend of 2019 taught my to dive deep into my music when all else fails. And I promise I'll be singing in my next video!!
