A couple days ago, I interviewed the brilliant, warm and extremely talented Steven Lutvak. Our conversation is a wealth of information and inspiration for all musicians, singers, songwriters and performers so I must share it with you. I met Steven about 10 yrs ago when my vocal method, Sing Like You Speak™, was just a seed of an idea that was forming in the back of my mind. He epitomizes Sing Li...
