Greg Amici: Sixteen Years Away From Music and the Comeback After
<p>Greg Amici is a singer-songwriter with one of music's stranger comeback arcs — fronting NYC's Big Honey until a vocal polyp ended it, then sixteen years of screenwriting and acting before his debut solo album Tragicomic arrived on Magic Door in 2025. He joins Lance Marwood on MAKE // BREAK to talk about the 1983 rejection letter that told him he'd make it, the surgery that turned out to be nothing after months of silence, why he hires people for what he can't do, and the freedom of making music with no expectations left. Dare to fail, control what you can, and if you can't not do it — keep going.</p><p>In this episode:</p><ul><li>The 1983 rejection letter and the label-deal era</li><li>The CMJ vocal polyp that ended Big Honey</li><li>Sixteen years of screenwriting, acting and bouncing in LA</li><li>Coming back with Tragicomic and no expectations</li><li>Independence, control and daring to fail</li></ul><p>Guest links:</p><p>→ <a href="https://www.gregamici.com">https://www.gregamici.com</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gregamicimusic">https://www.instagram.com/gregamicimusic</a></p><p>—</p><p>→ Listen on all platforms: <a href="https://pod.link/1831627966">https://pod.link/1831627966</a></p><p>→ Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUBRjKMVTI9g9dYHn-G1Eib-LfKLZso6_">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUBRjKMVTI9g9dYHn-G1Eib-LfKLZso6_</a></p><p>→ Follow: <a href="https://instagram.com/lowkeyhellish">https://instagram.com/lowkeyhellish</a></p><p>→ V13 Media: <a href="https://v13.net">https://v13.net</a></p><p>→ V13 Store: <a href="https://v13.store">https://v13.store</a></p><p>→ The Cherale (horror novella): <a href="https://a.co/d/1SZhhwS">https://a.co/d/1SZhhwS</a></p><p>→ V13 newsletters: <a href="https://v13.net/newsletter/">https://v13.net/newsletter/</a></p><p>Subscribe, and if you like this one, pass it to the artist in your life who's been sitting on finished work.
