Passion to Viral Success: Colin Sankey’s Journey in the Music Industry (Q&A)

Passion to Viral Success: Colin Sankey’s Journey in the Music Industry (Q&A)

StoryTime Studio welcomes you to a virtual workshop with guest speaker, musician and former StoryTime Studio alumni, Colin David Sankey! In this event we will be having an informal Q&A / panel style discussion about his journey I music, getting to where he is today.

Colin Sankey is a bassist, composer, and arranger from Vancouver, BC. His compositions seamlessly merge Jazz with funk, Latin, and rock music, creating a toe-tapping fusion with lush harmonies and blazing improvisations. A technical guru in his own right, he is frequently compared to Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Alain Caron.

Colin is the 1st place winner of the 2022 Phil Jones Solo Bass Competition and the 2nd place winner of the 2021 BITE Bass Contest. He has been featured on George Collier's YouTube channel, with over 800,000 subscribers. Colin’s debut album Reawakening has been featured on Bass Magazine and CBC Radio. He recently recorded his second EP, funded by Creative BC, to be released on February 15, 2025.

Colin recently went viral with his arrangements of Get Lucky by Daft Punk, Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes, and the Mario Theme, reaching over 15 million views between the three arrangements on Instagram and TikTok. He continues to share his inspiring arrangements of popular music with his 213,000+ followers across all social media platforms.

We will be asking Colin questions such as:

1. How did you find your audience?
2. What's the secret to going viral on social media?
3. How do you maintain your career in music?
4. What advise do you have for aspiring musicians and artists?
