- 1:17Speaker 1: locate that destination. This week, we're putting focus on my
- 1:21Speaker 1: missed opportunity with singer songwriter Noah Spencer. Let's see. Noah
- 1:28Speaker 1: was twenty years old at the time of our scheduled conversation.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Haleing from the heart of Appalachia. His hometown is Richmond, Virginia,
- 1:37Speaker 1: but he currently lives in a place called Pounding Mill, Virginia.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Noah's parents realized very early on specially God the age
- 1:45Speaker 1: of two, it says here, starting first with singing at
- 1:48Speaker 1: church at the age of two, later picking up the
- 1:51Speaker 1: guitar which led him to open mic nights by the
- 1:53Speaker 1: age of fifteen. Now, once in college, Noah and his
- 1:57Speaker 1: fan base began to increase banded due to playing in bars, restaurants, breweries,
- 2:03Speaker 1: and festivals. Being from the Appalachian region, he remained true
- 2:08Speaker 1: to his musical roots. Now, between he and his father,
- 2:12Speaker 1: they own thirty two stringed instruments. His dream is to
- 2:17Speaker 1: be a successful songwriter, blessed with an opportunity to tour
- 2:21Speaker 1: across the country. The invitation to share a conversation with
- 2:25Speaker 1: Noah Spencer arrived on November third, two Thousy twenty three.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Noah Spencer and let me spell his last name because
- 2:32Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to get this wrong.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Spe n Cer. He was selected to perform on season
- 2:39Speaker 1: twenty four of NBC's The Voice, a four time Emmy
- 2:43Speaker 1: Award winning musical competition. I was given a twenty minute
- 2:47Speaker 1: window to share a conversation with Noah. Starting at eight
- 2:51Speaker 1: forty am, the zoom link was sent. That usually means, dude,
- 2:55Speaker 1: it's going down, but this time around it did happened.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It became my missed opportunity. Hey, coming up next, my questions,
- 3:07Speaker 1: my statements with Noah Spencer of NBC's The Voice. Hey,
- 3:15Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to missed opportunity. This is my
- 3:18Speaker 1: missed opportunity with singer songwriter Noah Spencer from NBC's The Voice.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Keeping your sound true. We were talking about this a
- 3:26Speaker 1: little bit earlier because you're from the Appalachian region. But
- 3:29Speaker 1: how difficult is it to stay that true? Collecting those
- 3:34Speaker 1: stringed instruments with your father, my god, thirty two different ones?
- 3:39Speaker 1: How do you not get lost making that transition from
- 3:45Speaker 1: singing in church because you said, you went there at
- 3:48Speaker 1: two years old to where you are today? What was
- 3:50Speaker 1: that transition? Like? I love the fact that you started
- 3:55Speaker 1: singing in restaurants because in Carolina these days people are
- 3:59Speaker 1: starting their journeys singing in grocery stores of all places.
- 4:03Speaker 1: But that's what you gotta do. You gotta find your
- 4:04Speaker 1: open mic night. Playing local is such an incredible way
- 4:09Speaker 1: to build up that fan following because it's going to
- 4:12Speaker 1: reach into other cities. How do you grow that monster?
- 4:19Speaker 1: Twenty years old living in Pounding Mill, Virginia. Talk to
- 4:22Speaker 1: me about this city and what you feel in it
- 4:25Speaker 1: and can you take the roots of this city with
- 4:27Speaker 1: you when you start touring across the country. Hey, I'm
- 4:31Speaker 1: in the South too, dude. How important are the Appalachians
- 4:35Speaker 1: to your creative process? The final question the moment you
- 4:40Speaker 1: realized it wasn't just music, but rather this is the
- 4:45Speaker 1: music business, missed opportunity. It's a lost piece of history.
- 4:52Speaker 1: You now know the questions, so let's locate the answers.
- 4:55Speaker 1: The door is always going to be open. If you
