Christopher Zander is a Music Director currently working in NYC. In addition to music directing, he works as a piano accompanist for voice lessons and auditions for musical theatre. We discuss the line that’s drawn between just “doing your job” versus finding moments to contribute and collaborate with the artist you're accompanying. We also explore how your history affects the way you listen to music and if it matters.

For all of us out there chasing our dreams, there’s nothing more helpful then getting advice and gathering encouragement from the most “successful” people out there. And we all have Raji Ahsan to thank for being the one that has the balls to gather it for us. I use the word “successful” in quotes, as you’ll learn from watching his show “Making Brews and Paying Dues” that some of the best ways to endure in your respective field is understanding your own definition of "success". He’s also an incredible actor currently starring in “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity” in Miami at the Colony Theatre. I’m so lucky to catch up with Raji - literally on his way to the airport - as we both share a mission to learn from others and discover the bond we all share.
