Content Warning: This episode of the Paid to Play Podcast contains high levels of Star-Struck Gushing.
See, the gent whom I had the privilege of interviewing for the second episode is Terry Serio, the hardest-working performer in Australia today. He’s been acting and making music since he was knee-high to a grasshopper, and I ask him just how he sustains his career in getting paid to play.
He also happens to be my second cousin, from the Perth branch of the family!
The answers turned into a half-hour long conversation, so grab yourself a cuppa and settle in for a great chat!
