Broadcast Engineer, Audio Engineer,
and Production Music Composer.

Connection is Magic is a podcast and non-profit 501c3. We are a “Lighthouse for Creatives,” dedicated to empowering those in arts & entertainment. Ego, volatility, and burnout create obstacles at every step of the creative journey. Yet art remains essential—it heals and profoundly connects us in an increasingly divided world.

Hosted by Samson Shulman, therapist and former music executive, we feature raw conversations with voices from all facets of the creative landscape. Listeners learn to turn pain into purpose while finding more grace and inner clarity.

The podcast was born out of host, Samson’s “dark night of the soul,” after a battle with Lyme Disease, a near death experience and severe career burnout working at Interscope Records, The Tonight Show and in Artist Management.

music by brian perez

Born and raised in Chicago, between the Roseland and Morgan Park neighborhoods, LordNikonX has been syncopating beats for as long as he can remember and makes what he calls, "Music For People Who Need Therapy". Performing poetry and singing from a young age, he is the youngest child of a musically eclectic household. His mother is a retired Chicago Public Schools music teacher/concert pianist and his father was an African drummer/DJ. Music in his blood and trauma in his past, his music seeks to relate to and help process his abandonment by his father at a young age and the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger that have shaped his adult life.

i'm a singer/songwriter/producer/musician. i make what i like and i believe in genre-bending. everything that you listen to on this page is done by me...vocally produced, written, produced musically (beat and shit) and recorded (unless in the studio engineered w/some help) - all by me...ONE WOMAN BAND!
