I decided to launch a new series within the podcast called Galvanisms, which aims to be my platform to talk about my work as a songwriter. Each bonus episode aims to serve as a supplementary material to my songs in terms of explaining the process of making it come to be. For the pilot run of Galvanisms, I thought it best to feature the first song I ever released officially called "Paint Me" which recently passed the 1000 mark (a goal I never thought to be achievable at the time) on Spotify and is currently well on its way to reach its next milestone.
