Podcast Description
"loves music" is a podcast, hosted by me, Julian Jones, that celebrates music and the moments that made us fall in love with it. It’s for music-lovers who, despite the demands of life, remain passionate about their beloved albums and artists and still seek to discover new talent, whether online, internationally, or within the sweaty crowded bars of your hometown. It’s in us! We don't know why we do it; we just do… and we refuse to grow out of it.
Every Thursday, I interview artists past and present about making music: their inspiration, their challenges, and the moments they will never forget.
If you love or even have a dysfunctional relationship with music, come along, and share this show with someone who loves music.

Gabrielle Caruthers spent 20 years in the cultural arts before launching a podcast to ask the questions the creative community wasn’t talking about.
She’s a Detroit-based dancer turned podcast host, educator, and creative entrepreneur, and the founder of the Starving Artist Development Podcast. Gabrielle and Julian dig into what it actually costs to call yourself an artist-as-business, how to be consistent without burning out, and the difference between being talented and having it. Plus: why she keeps going after burying her 19-year-old niece and what her niece taught her about betting on yourself.
IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO:
- Why consistency without nuance is the real source of creative burnout
- The hard question: are financially ambitious artists in service to the public?
- Talent vs. work ethic, and why Gabrielle picks drive every time
- “It”: what makes a star undeniable, and how you know when someone has it
- Betting on yourself after loss: the lesson Gabrielle’s niece left behind
