Discover what’s at the Fork in the Road between starving and thriving artist. I’m Andy, and I’m a kids book illustrator obsessed with the concept of how you can change course from that of the starving artist to the path of the thriving artist. I believe all the answers are out there right in front of us in the artists we know and love. Because as they say success leaves clues, so I’m becoming part detective and part guinea pig. As each week I’ll be interviewing artists that are making money, surviving and thriving. Then I'll be implementing what I learn in my own creative practice.

Becoming a Thriving Artist in the Digital Streaming Age with Virg

Musician Virg pulls back the curtain on the realities of being a modern musician in the digital world. From her childhood discovery of synthesizers to the creation of her Italian single Martini, Virg takes us deep into her creative process, her cultural identity and Italian music, and the powerful role of collaboration in her artistic evolution. She speaks candidly about streaming, music discovery, and the harsh truth behind the lack of financial stability many artists face in today’s industry.

Virg shares why platforms like Bandcamp matter for artist support, the emotional value of owning physical music, and how AI is reshaping the conversation around creativity, authenticity, and the future of a thriving artist. This extended episode explores what it truly means to live creatively while navigating financial realities, maintain flow state as a creator, and build genuine human connection in an increasingly impersonal digital music landscape.
