They were just teens when they started making music. Soon, they were on stage at the JUNOs. Tyler Armes and Cameron Hunter are two of members of the Canadian genre-blending band Down With Webster.

Tyler and Cam dive into:
- How Down With Webster got started, and how they balanced music with being teens in school.
- What gave them the courage to go all in on music — even when it wasn’t the "safe" or conventional career path.
- How they’ve stayed authentic, energized, and joyful after two decades in the music industry.
- How to stay calm during creative stress, and their advice for navigating change.
Tyler and Cameron also share the music they love listening to, next steps for DWW, and more! Whether you're dreaming of a creative career or just want to hear from two wildly talented, down-to-earth artists, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to go for it.
