343 - Megan Coleman: Drumming for Grammy-Nominated UK Artist Yola, Gigging as a DJ, Detroit to Jordan to Nashville

Megan Coleman was born in the heart of Detroit. She grew up in church, learning from the rich culture that is Detroit Gospel, Jazz and RnB music. She always had a passion for music and had the chance to start exploring that both in church and in school when she started playing drums in Jr. High. She continued to grow in love and passion for music, but wanted instead, to pursue Medicine. In the midst of these studies, she moved to Nashville to try her hand at pursuing music full-time. Megan has since had the opportunity to grow and flourish both in Nashville and in the industry as a whole. As a drummer and percussionist, she has shared the stage with a wide variety of artists such as Jackie Greene, Foy Vance, and Ron Pope-to name a few. Most recently, she can be found touring with Yola. When she is not on the road, Megan spends her time in sessions around town, teaching lessons, or volunteering in mentorship programs. In this episode, Megan talks about: Her journey from Detroit, TX, the middle east and Nashville Learning music and drumming from a non-traditional place Living in Jordan Working as a DJ Embracing fear and anxiety Working with Grammy nominated artist Yola
