Published by Dina Maccabee and Manuel Pessoa de Lima
Berlin musicians Manu Lima and Dina Maccabee speak with each other and guests about the inner experience of being an artist in the world. Performance anxiety, finishing projects, staying organized, self-promotion, motivation, and collaboration are all starting points for vulnerable, funny, and spontaneous conversations. The hosts then peel back these surface stories to reveal the thoughts and feelings underneath— including failure — that musicians at any career stage can relate to. Rather than another guide to “how to succeed in the music business,” The Failed Musician invites listeners behind the music, revealing the inner workings of the continuous, messy, process of becoming a failed — and thereby redeemed — musician.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. In the trailer for The Failed Musician Podcast, Dina and Manu share what they hope to create over the course of the show: a space where musicians can be open about feelings of failure, and a reality check on how much pressure we all feel to be "productive." Is this imperative helpful, or just a toxic shadow cast by broken internal and external systems? Stay tuned to find out...
