Artist Stories and Best Advice: The Playlists

Artist Stories, American Salon’s short-form video series featuring first-person storytelling from a wide array of leading professionals, is only 12-weeks-old – but is already garnering rave reviews. 

Digital Editor Kelsey Murray, Videographer Pete Nguyen (Attachment Media) and I are hard at work documenting stories from throughout the industry. 

To date, we have shared interviews with Stephen Moody, Winn Claybaugh, Ted Gibson, Diana Schmidtke, Ruth Roche, Sonya Dove, Douglas McCoy, Ann Mincey and Fabio Sementilli.   

A spin-off series we call Best Advice features wise words from Ruth Roche, Diana Schmidtke, Ted Gibson, Sony Dove, and Douglas McCoy – with many more to follow. 

Upcoming Artist Stories include many of the industry’s favorite figures, including Sam Brocato, Reuben Carranza, Beth Minardi, George Schaeffer, Schorem Barbers, George Alderete, Nick Stenson, Vivienne Mackinder, David Thurston, Candy Shaw, Sam Villa and Guy Tang.
