The Nest

This is what venues are generally looking for when hiring artists ✊🏽

As someone who books gigs for venues and also is an artist who actively books gigs for themselves, I’ve found that these are the most helpful things to have.

What did I miss?

I’m sorry, I realize I’ve never really introduced myself..

I’m , I’m the founder of The Nest, which is an online platform for music industry education & artist growth.

The Nest Online Platform consists of 8 people, each with their own unique set of music industry credentials.

Aside from being the founder of this platform, I also am a performer, entrepreneur, and singer-songwriter located in Maine!

When I’m not singing with , making content for this page, or producing videos for or , I spend plenty of time hiking, camping in my renovated van , playing golf, snowboarding, traveling, playing board games with friends, going on runs, working out, reading, and hanging out with my girlfriend Kelcey and our dog Ollie!

I’ve been in the industry for over a decade and have been fortunate to have many amazing opportunities!

When I quit my day job 7 years ago to pursue a career in music full time, I never looked back.

Since I quit my job I’ve:

✅ played thousands of shows
✅ written hundreds of songs
✅ had multiple six figure years in my music businesses.
✅ Travelled the world playing music & connecting with people

These are the good things.

But of course, there’s always a downside.

When I first launched my career, I ALSO had many problems:

❌I was $15,000 in Credit card debt
❌I was in a terrible mental & emotional state
❌I was in it for the wrong reasons
❌Failed on my first 4 businesses and lost thousands of dollars in the process.

The truth is, the music industry is HARD!

With every success comes an equally large challenge to overcome.

And that’s the point of this page!

We’re here to help YOU craft your unique place on this earth.

So thanks for connecting with me, and I can’t wait to introduce you to the team!

See you soon,

Lucas
