Do you feel that making a big impact with your creative gift is just too difficult these days? Not true, if you approach your life with a heart to serve and dedication to excellence - and there's no better example of this than producer, drummer, songwriter and entrepreneur Carlin Muccular. Having been awarded "top amateur drummer" in the country at the early age of 15 and touring with Grammy-winning vocalist Ledisi, Carlin quickly became a musician to be reckoned with. His talent eventually led to his selection as drummer for six time Grammy award winning artist Israel Houghton. In addition, he' has signed major publishing deals as a producer and songwriter, and has been a key part of multiple Billboard #1 albums. Carlin also serves on the musical staff at World Changers Church International in Atlanta, GA pastored by Dr. Creflo Dollar. Carlin is the CEO, founder and visionary behind the music production site Shedtracks.com. Since its inception in 2020, Shedtracks has become the leading software product for drummers and other musicians who want to practice with professional quality backing tracks. In this interview you'll discover how Carlin built on the solid musical and spiritual foundation provided by his family and applied it to every situation - from his time at Berklee to his current position with Israel and New Breed. He'll share how key principles like being a person of character, valuing relationships, and being willing to take risks in business mark the path to true success as a creative.
