I am pleased to present the episode I recently recorded with Alex Stephens, AKA Strawberry Guy. Since I was involved in a little incident literally just before recording, we naturally discuss our favorite alcoholic beverages. Turns out, Alex is a Straw-Beery Guy! Since you can’t see me winking, it means he made a Strawberry Guy beer! Alex shares tales of his own Performance Anxiety and how that influenced the way he sings and performs. He even practiced in a cafe toilet for a friend to bolster his courage for his first open mic night! He also talks about the name Strawberry Guy and the sweet & sad story about how it came about.
Alex’s song Mrs. Magic exploded after it was used on TikTok. But Alex had no idea until a tweet from a Twitter bot informed him that the song had entered the charts! The song exploded so fast that it was hard to keep up. There are even college essays written about the phenomenon.
The rest of Alex’s catalog is just as good as Mrs. Magic and he tells me about his goal to write music that’s good for your mind and soul as well as his plans for America! Check out his music on Spotify and Bandcamp. Follow him @strawberry_guy on Instagram & @_strawberryguy on Twitter. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on both. Reach out through Social media or email at theperformanceanxietypod@gmail.com. Buy merch at performanceanx.threadless.com or a non-committal cup of coffee at ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety. Now take a deep breath and get mellow with me and Alex Stephens, AKA Strawberry Guy on Performance Anxiety, part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.
