Sit back and enjoy this very special chat with Estella Dawn as she shares behind the scene stories with our own Emme Lentino. Bio: Estella Dawn is becoming known for her unwavering confidence and boldly passionate delivery. Her music has proven a force to be reckoned with – her style knows no limits, and across the globe, her growing audience is celebrating that quality. Divinely striking vocals carve out a fiercely distinct identity, as this creative powerhouse continues to raise the bar for the future of modern pop. Born and raised in New Zealand but residing in the US, the singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist brings a depth of talent and ability to the new pop scene. Wholly encapsulating the art of a life devoted to music, the working creative writes, records, and co- produces every one of her releases. Her ability to faultlessly unite elements of piercing delicacy and outright ferocity gives her sound a truly unparalleled edge and allows her to transcend genres with spirited conviction. Whilst her writing offers refreshingly original hooks and production traits, the essence of her performances and chosen topics will no doubt prove timeless amidst an ever-evolving industry. Delivering multi-layered compositions that reinforce a naturally compelling vocal, Estella keeps authenticity at the forefront – utilising stripped-back acoustic moments when needed, to further build upon that inexorable connection with her audience. Her vocal strength and versatility is known for its expressive similarities with pop troubadours Sia, Adele and Halsey. Her songwriting, often either softly revealing or boldly declarative, sometimes both at once, tips its hat to the fearless releases of artists like Billie Eilish and Lady Gaga. Comparisons don't last though, once the unique lyrical web and melodic appeal of each song take hold.

Zizzo, a Manhattan native, wields many labels: Musician. New Yorker. Guitarist. Bassist. Pianist. Transgender. But above all, he's a self-taught singer-songwriter with a penchant for pop, and has so much to offer to this world. It's this dynamic combination, these unique puzzle pieces, this gumbo of life experience, heartbreak, and identity, that makes up Ari Zizzo. Ari hails from the Upper East Side of New York City, where his musical parents—his father, a record producer, and his mother an accomplished songwriter—incubated his early enchantment with music. He started piano at age 4, and by 13, he knew he wanted to be an artist. Ari studied music at SUNY Purchase, where he had an objectively normal college experience—playing sports and joining a fraternity—and moved to LA to set up shop as a songwriter. Ari's music is inspired by fierce love, gutting heartbreak, and his own struggle with identity. His greatest strength may be his admirable ability, as an artist, to empathize with and relate to others, no matter how different their experiences might be. “Transitioning for me, when you get down to the nitty gritty stuff, it's obviously very different than someone just growing up,” Ari says. “But in some ways, it was just me trying to find myself and my identity, and so many young people struggle to deal with that in their own ways.” The 24-year old is also heavily inspired by his parents, who he cites as his greatest musical influences, alongside Joni Mitchell, Third Eye Blind, CSNY, John Mayer, and The 1975. Right now, he's gearing up to release brand-new music, which he co-produced in LA with Steve Wilmot (OneRepublic, U2, Ava Max). “I put my heart and soul into this,” Zizzo says. “I just want to share my story.”
Experiencing anxiety and maintaining a healthy self-esteem are two aspects of being an artist that are important to talk about. I'm honored to welcome Emme Lentino onto the show for a very authentic chat about anxiety and self-esteem in the music industry. Mental health is important to both of us, so what we discuss in this episode is close to our hearts. The quote for this episode is by Chelsea Handler: “I still get anxiety about things I have to do professionally, and I'm pretty sure I always will. Knowing that's part of the process helps me focus not on the worry itself but on the sense of accomplishment I'll feel afterward. I get more from going through with something than from walking away.” Emme and I had such an open and honest conversation about anxiety and self-esteem that I'm honored to share. We talk about overcoming anxiety, balancing what we have to do as songwriters and artists and being mindful of what we can handle, knowing when to take a step back and reflect on how what we're doing is affecting our creativity and mental health, setting boundaries and having a routine, overcoming performance anxiety, dealing with anxiety while networking with music industry professionals, having a healthy relationship with social media, developing a positive mindset to maintain a healthy self-esteem, protecting our mental health, treating ourselves with kindness, and more. My conversation with Emme is so inspiring, and I hope you enjoy it. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode? Would you like to be a guest?

Segal's work is rooted in organic sounds and instrumentation. Her nylon acoustic helms both the fingerpicking of her gentle, folkier offerings and the force of her rockier surges. Raised in her father's Klezmer (traditional Jewish folk) band she incorporates many of those early influential melodies, progressions, and even some Hebrew liturgy with contemporary forms. Lyric centered and often challenging societal norms Segal "reminds of Tori Amos, Kate Miller Heidke and Ani Difranco, she's not afraid to say something." (Jeff Jenkins ABC) As a young adult questioning her tradition, themes of free-thinking and empowerment inspired her debut album. The folk-pop protest record garnered fans in the US and kicked off 8 years of non-stop touring with a performance to 30,000 on the National Mall in Washington DC. Over a hundred thousand tour miles of country radio listening has transfused its Americana tinge and the result is Segal's latest release, the heartfelt yet assured 'HOLY.' In between country crossing Shelley regularly creates music which supports grass-roots activists and performs for community activist groups and human rights organisations. Notable releases include the folksy/bluesy 'Little March' with legendary guitarist/songwriter Adam Levy (Norah Jones/Tracy Chapman), the aesthetics lamenting 'Sidelined,' confronting travel vignette 'Morocco' and finally a move to Los Angeles where Shelley is an in-demand songwriter. Her works have been placed in award winning films and with international artists garnering millions of views online. In 2022 Segal is releasing singles regularly from her upcoming self produced album, ‘Prove you Wrong' Website: http://www.shelleysegal.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shelley.segal.music/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShelleySegal @shelleysegal Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/shelleysegal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelleysegal/ @shelleysegal Bandcamp: https://shelleysegal.bandcamp.com/ BandsinTown: http://www.bandsintown.com/ShelleySegal Patreon: www.patreon.com/shelleysegal Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Is6CJbBt3YB6gDxnoNfiE? si=gMFhuPiCQy-DMFP0eR0E3w

Join Heart of Indie Radio co-host Emme Lentino as we welcome singer-songwriter Charlie PS in our studios. Vancouver-based Charlie PS has a sound that could be described as a sonic mel7ng pot. Although she grew up surrounded by ‘90s Bri7sh pop culture, her sonic inspira7ons stem from a mix of the R&B divas of the ‘70s and ‘80s and the rock and blues legends of the 20th century ranging from Kiki Dee to Stevie Nicks, borrowing elements of strong vocals and energe7c riffs and using them to create her own modern sound. Her new single “Ghost of You” (May 2021) combines flavors of alterna7ve and southern rock, crea7ng a backdrop for ‘’western-esque’ storytelling. “‘Ghost of You” is a step in a new direc7on for me,” explains Charlie. “My sound has been rooted in mainstream ‘pop/rock’ but has naturally evolved to become more “alterna7ve/rock”, seasoned with a southern twist of rus7c toned guitars.” Charlie’s debut EP, Li,le Miss Dysfunc5onal (2018) speaks an undisclosed story of disingenuous rela7onships that are interpreted differently by each listener and her effervescent style resurrects the dying niche that is females in rock music. The EP’s single, “Lile Miss Dysfunc7onal” went on to be nominated and win ‘Best Pop Song’ and was also nominated for ‘Best Music Video’, while Charlie herself was nominated as ‘Ar7st of the Year’ at the Kootenay Music Awards (2019). She also placed in the Top-100 in CBC’s Searchlight compe77on and won a spot at the local Surrey Fusion Fes5val (2019). Upon winning the 7tle of 'Kootenays Best Singer' (2013), Charlie made her way through the venues and fes7vals that her small hometown of Nelson, BC had to offer and aber gradua7ng from Selkirk College's 'Contemporary Music Program' (2014) she relocated to Vancouver, BC.

Join co-host Emme Lentino in her exclusive chat with singer-songwriter Jimena Arroyo right here in our Heart of Indie studio! Jimena Arroyo is a singer-songwriter from La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 19, she won a car in a singing competition on a TV show in her country. From that moment on, she started performing live and worked as a touring singer in a cover band for over ten years. After that, she decided to focus on her original songs, so she started working with very talented musicians, composers, and producers from all over the world. She's been nominated for several international music awards and in August 2020 she won the International Singer-Songwriters Association Award for Best International Female Vocalist (Silver). About "One More Lullaby": This is a very melancholic and nostalgic piano ballad about arguing with the one you love and then they tragically die. It's about the immeasurable void inside, especially when you couldn't say a proper goodbye. The need for closure is something that burns inside your chest and you need to get it all out before it consumes you. Once they're gone, regret takes hold of you and you start missing even the things you thought you hated. Sometimes, couples have songs that represent them, a song that brings back memories of happy days long gone. This is the "lullaby" we're referring to in this song. The song is a collaboration between CJ Teffner (music, guitar, production) and Jimena Arroyo (lyrics, melody and vocals). It also features the amazing pianist Nick Milo, former pianist of Joe Cocker.

Join Heart of Indie's co host, Emme Lentino as she chats with Australian singer/songwriter, Sienna Sii! Sienna Sii started performing (very poorly) when she was around 3. "I remember prancing around the house in tutus and singing into a TV Remote Controller for my fam. There’s this super cute (or embarrassing) photo of me from the 90’s wearing green pants and a flared white top while playing (or smashing) the piano with my mum by my side". These days she's been making soft pop music with a fun drop to keep things exciting. She recently released her debut single ‘See the Sunrise’, "I hope it inspires people to see the light at the end of the tunnel when going through a tough time. With everything going on at the moment it's a great time to take a second to try to and ‘see the sunrise’. I really hope you love it". "This song is incredibly close to my heart. I was going through a rough time (as many of us have in the past year) and I wasn’t quite at the point of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel (or the sunrise) yet, but I really wanted to be.. So I wrote the song as a way to help me get there and realise things were going to get better. I hope that you can relate to what I was going through when I wrote it. It adds a spin of happiness, positivity and light to a sad time, and helps us look forward to a brighter time when things inevitably work themselves out".
