Episode 4: Social Responsibility through Music
My gift to you this holiday season is the 4th episode of my podcast series NY to Paradise: creating your own success. In this episode, I speak with Davon Carty; the founder of the reggae band British Dependency, a businessman, entrepreneur and facilitator for the creative arts sector in Anguilla, West Indies.
We have an in-depth conversation about what influenced his interest in Music and his overall experience building his career from the ground up. I enjoyed learning more about Anguilla; its people and what he is doing to help his country develop and grow the music industry on the island and internationally.

Coco Says… Finding positive and helpful advice may seem so easy living in a world of google and youtube. There are many self-proclaimed experts who will only tell you what you want to hear versus what you need to hear. You must work through the clutter. The best thing to do is to utilize your natural talents, whatever you are good at while strengthening your areas of weakness. I strongly support mentorship and mentoring, however, being responsible with where you seek guidance, advice, and instruction is critical to your own personal growth. Davon’s quote is all about learning that sometimes not all advice is good advice. Through his work in music and business on Anguilla with developing and driving the creative sector, he is an example of what it means to define your own inner power. Your power is what you can create and how you use it to positively influence others.
