Artist Antics With April: The Power of Creative Storytelling

I've always believed art isn’t just something to hang on your wall—it’s something to move you.  And this is exactly why I created the Artist Antics with April (AAWA) podcast.  A place for creatives to talk about creativity and the stories behind them.  

No matter what medium, fine art, photography, film making, music, murals, poets, rappers, art therapists, song writers, etc., there is an episode that fits.  In every episode of AAWA you will find: Connection. Clarity. Creativity.

Why I Started AAWA

Artist Antics with April (AAWA) was born from my desire to talk to other creatives about their journey, their creativity process, and all the stories behind them that normally you don't get to hear.  I wanted to build a community that could assist and encourage each other when needed - a group of like-minded people that 'get it'.  And to show listeners that being a creative for a living is truly possible.  

Every episode is a real, unfiltered conversation with creatives who are brave enough to  have chosen expression as their career.

They’re not just interviews. They’re little revelations....at least for me anyway.    

Featured Episode: Tony St. Tone – Music, Mindset & Meaning

One of my most inspiring episodes features award-winning songwriter and guitarist Tony St. Tone, whose life is basically a masterclass in following your passion.

From performing over 275 shows a year, winning song writer awards, to playing for Priscilla Presley, Tony has built a music career centered on purpose, service, and serious trust in his creative instincts.  It's a testament to creative living.  

Highlights include:

• Why trusting your own vision matters more than anyone’s opinions

• How creativity can heal—in prisons, hospitals, and halfway houses

• The story behind Tony’s Spirit of Music Foundation

• His songwriting process and the magic that happens when you let flow take over
