● “As difficult of an instrument as the Violin is, the earlier you put your son on it, the better.”
● “If you want to learn, have an inner drive, and feel passionate about music, find music that you feel unoffended towards.”
● “Hatred is one of the best things to motivate you to get started.”
● “A major part of me that makes the songs I have written beautiful and listenable is the fact that I have the ability to relate. What I put out fairly represents me.” Timestamps 0:00 02:29 Introducing our guest Asher Laub 03:34 How Asher got into playing Violin 04:23 Asher’s tough memories as a child learning to play the instrument 08:59 How music can be intimidating off the site 15:48 Projecting your own narrative into songs 16:55 Dealing with hatred and Asher’s thoughts on unsolicited criticisms 25:28 Internal confidence in live performances & events 28:08 Intimate events versus production or concerts for Asher 30:11 Asher’s new instrumental production and what makes his songs listenable 37:41 Asher’s passion for violin and love for deejaying 42:05 Why every DJ needs to maintain an online database 44:28 To connect with Asher Laub To connect with Asher Laub https://www.instagram.com/asherlaub/ https://found.asherlaub.com/clients www.asherlaub.com/about To connect with our host MattViolinist MattViolinist.com https://www.instagram.com/mattviolinist https://linktr.ee/mattviolinistENT
