#161 - Interview with Melissa Loggins

Today I was talking with a music teacher and owner of the music school "Music Authorty", Melissa Loggins based out of Atlanta, Georga. Being a music teacher is a unique opportunity to help artists grow and improve, allowing them to become the best version of themselves.

Melissa spends a lot of time with kids that are wanting to play instruments, giving them a different approach. Look, I know as a kid music teachers were boring a lot of the times they didn't show any passion or care for their craft. Melissa's main focus is to ensure that young children entering music school are treated with kindness and compassion, allowing them to have all possible creative freedom. 

Realizing that we deserve to play our instruments, regardless of obstacles, is truly an eye-opening moment. If our soul is in it, and we love it, having a place like Music Authority can greatly help awaken our senses. Be sure to check out Music Authority and so much more.

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
