Layto: Dropping Out Of College, Creating Core Creative Team, TikTok Triumphs, and alternative psycho

Grounds For Success

On this episode of Grounds For Success, which also happens to be our last episode for season 1, we have the artist Layto!
From almost becoming an English major with dreams of law school to successfully strumming his way into the music industry—this episode is packed with a real-world story of how surrounding yourself with the right team can change everything for you as a creative. Layto generously pulls back the curtain on his journey, sharing insights into his early creativity, his life-changing decision to become a full-time musician and a hilarious story that led to his first manager (who has since been replaced by Garrett Ream)
Both Layto and I delve into our experiences working with individuals who've had pivotal roles in our creative journeys, as well as how important the power of perseverance and hard work can be for your career. We will learn about Layto's album "alternative psycho," an album I mixed and mastered, and the rest of the team who worked on it, including my friend Inverness who executive produced the album, and my friend Brandyn Burnette, who wrote and sang on several of the songs.
Lastly, Layto shares how he tapped into the power of content creation, using platforms like TikTok to gain exposure, and how a single song opened the doors to thousands of YouTube views and unprecedented opportunities. In the world of music, success is far from guaranteed. Layto's story shows, that with self-belief, the right team, and a touch of serendipity, it's possible.
