Twenty-plus years in the music business and still in the trenches, Stan Bravo is opening the floor. Swing by The Sedgewick Ave Project's AMA booth and ask him anything about building a career in the arts: staying independent without a label, surviving burnout, turning talent into a sustainable practice, and spotting real opportunity when it shows up. No pitch, no filter, just straight answers from someone who's toured, grinded, and built an organisation from the ground up. Come with your hardest question.
