After nearly quitting music in 2023, singer-songwriter David Ramirez found his way back—through heartbreak, living-room shows, and a pop-up performance in Nashville that reminded him why he ever picked up a guitar. In this deeply personal conversation, David opens up about losing his identity during the pandemic, rediscovering joy in songwriting, and creating his latest album, All the Not So Gentle Reminders, purely for the love of it.
We trace his journey from baseball fields to choir rooms, from church hymns to Russian opera, and from early struggles in Nashville to building a fanbase that’s followed him for nearly two decades. With stories about impromptu house tours, first guitars, and the difference between show business and true connection, David reflects on his evolution as a musician and a man.
If you’ve ever wondered what keeps an artist going when the industry wears them down—this is the episode.
