The dynamic songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Susan Werner talks to us onboard the Cayamo cruise, which she describes as a "paid vacation." Reflecting on her upbringing on a working farm, Susan discusses the hard work that shaped her, but also how she's learning to embrace rest and relaxation. With humor and insight, she navigates the balance between a hardworking mindset and the need for downtime, revealing her strategies for managing stress and expectations in both life and music.Her latest album, 'Halfway to Houston,' is a continuation of her exploration of a place through its music. Previous releases found her examining New Orleans and Florida. In this particular case, she is focusing on the state of Texas, including the interconnectedness of communities across borders; the song "Sisters" is about twin sister cities El Paso, Texas and Juárez, Mexico. As a seasoned artist, Susan dives into the importance of consistency and authenticity in her craft, emphasizing that hard work alone doesn't guarantee success – it's about being consistently excellent. She also touches on the political landscape and how her songs aim to foster empathy and understanding, even in divided times.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

"If I got money every time you're on my mind, I swear I'd have more money than a single dime."Do lyrics need to rhyme? Can a song be both funny and profound? Is there a right way to build a composition?In this episode, Emmeline sits down with urban boy band, The Kid Brothers (TKB), to tackle these questions and more through the lens of their brand new single, "Divine." Comprised of Eddie, Shawn, and Sasha, TKB has been releasing fun, dance-able jams since 2021--but the release of "Divine" marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. They talk about learning instruments from YouTube videos, using social media to connect with fans, and taking performance far more seriously than they take themselves. They also share some of the challenges of writing songs as a collaborative unit, and how they've learned to empower each other and play to each member's strengths. Plus, hear how one groovy bass line can be the beginning of the next summer hit--and why Sabrina Carpenter might be the inspiration behind "Divine."To learn more about The Kid Brothers, or to follow their musical journey, follow the band on Instagram or check out their official website.For behind-the-scenes info and more about Journey of a Song, follow @EmmelineMusic on social media or visit the Journey of Series official webpage.

Bobby Borg joined me on TAXI TV a couple weeks ago and after the show ended, I realized how much more we could have covered. Specifically, I felt that we could have gone more in-depth on the subject of marketing for musicians. He's the perfect person to talk about it because he's the author of, Music Marketing for The DIY Musician. But, he's much more than the author of that book!

Have you ever questioned the way that music technology software is designed? And how the tech tools and gear we use might look and feel completely different if they were designed by different humans (i.e. not just predominantly white, cis, heterosexual men living in the West). Well, this question didn't just bother today's guest, producer and researcher, Josephine Zwaan. It led her to write a masters thesis that totally reimagines how a DAW could behave through the lens of African philosophy, exploring ways to ‘decolonise the loop'. Josephine is a multifaceted, creative force who uses research as a tool to challenge and rethink existing frameworks and practices and creates music under the moniker of Suzooki Swift. She also co-founded rosetta, a Netherlands based initiative supporting female and nonbinary music producers, with an emphasis on education and community building. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{00:00} Intro{03:25} Josephine on her alter-ego, SUZOOKI SWIFT{06:06} Josephine on her track SWIMMIN'{12:56} Josephine on discovering her strengths in collaborations{15:49} What brought Josephine into music production?{20:15} Josephine on setting up her platform rosetta.{22:15} Inside Josephine's research on decolonising the loop{57:10} Episode SummaryCheck out Josephine's Website >>Connect with Josephine on Instagram >>  Check out Josephine's platform rosetta >> rosetta on Instagram >> Suzooki Swift on Instagram >>Boss it in the recording studio

It's common to hear people make the case for initiatives and spaces that help women become more confident with music tech. And many women will say they wished they had more confidence when it comes to music production, mixing and the whole recording process. But what if this pursuit for more confidence was actually further sabotaging the progress of women with music technology? What if, instead, we need to be questioning the whole focus on confidence itself?In this solo episode, Isobel explores some of the reasons she doesn't focus on confidence when it comes to her unique approach for teaching women recording and production and she draws from wider theories and research to help better understand concepts such as confidence in the context of gender.

Do you struggle with perfectionism? We totally get it - it can be easy to put off recording your music out of the belief that every single element of it needs to be perfect.

But inside this candid conversation, Paulette also shares the personal path she's trodden along the way.Paulette shares the real sense of threat she felt DJing as a black woman in the clubs in 90's Manchester, her time doing PR for some of the 90s and 00s most influential dance music artists and setting Paris on fire with her iconic flavour of House music selections. But perhaps just as interesting is Paulette's experience of losing her mojo with DJing, packing it all in and moving back to Manchester and how she's rebuilt her career and reconnected with the DJ artform. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{00:00} Intro{04:26} Paulette's early memories of music and introduction to DJing{10:50} Her experience as a black woman DJ in the early 90s{13:17} Inside DJ Paulette's first gig{17:16} What it was like being one of the only female DJs in the 90s UK club scene{24:30} Paulette's experience working in music PR alongside DJing{36:23} Moving to Paris to pursue her DJing career{46:03} Losing her mojo for dance music and DJing{01:04:43} How moving back to Manchester helped Paulette fall back in love with DJing{01:08:05} The importance of speaking out against discrimination in order to help the younger generation{01:11:11} The meaning and inspiration behind her track “Sheroes”{01:26:47} Episode SummaryDJ Paulette's Website >>DJ Paulette on Instagram >>Listen to ‘Sheroes' >>Pre-Order ‘Welcome to the Club' >>Join the Home Recording Kickstarter on September 8-12 and transform your opportunities in music in 2023 >> https://femalediymusician.com/kickstarter Love Girls Twiddling Knobs?

What if fame and commercial success weren't as great as the industry leads many artists to believe? This weeks guest, Kate Nash, had to face this question from an early age after her debut album found overnight success during the naughties. Because, even though there were good times and a few great people, burn out, industry sharks and misogyny were in abundance too. Kate was dropped from her label and, while many artists might understandably call it a day, Kate picked herself up and entered a new phase as a independent musician. And, as Kate shares inside this BONUS Special episode, while it's meant making music on her terms, it's also brought new challenges - between negotiating terms, building a trustworthy team and balancing the books - it's been far from an easy ride. But as you'll hear in this candid conversation, Kate has passion, courage and oodles of heart and has created a career encompassing music, acting and activism. This one's a must listen for any independent women in music!EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{03:52} Introducing Kate Nash{12:44} Kate's journey to signing a record deal {27:23} Maintaining a work-life balance as an independent artist{34:48} Her personal experience as a woman in the industry {43:06} The meaning behind her track 'Conventional Girl'{46:41} Kate's experience of music technology and working with producers{01:00:30} Kate stars in new film 'Coffee Wars''Kate Nash: Underestimate The Girl' Documentary >>Watch the Official Trailer for 'Coffee Wars' >> Follow Kate on Instagram >>Visit Kate's website >> Subscribe to the podcast wherever you're listening and don't miss an episode of Girls Twiddling Knobs ⚡️

“Surely if women *really* wanted to record and produce music, they'd just get on with it like their male peers, right?” Well… Sadly it's not that simple. Today in 2023, women still are considerably outnumbered on music production programmes and in recording studios and are less likely to learn through free online resources, like YouTube, compared to their male contemporaries.It's true that women, in theory, aren't banned from taking part in these spaces. So, inside this BONUS podcast episode Isobel explores why the problem might not be lack of access. Instead, could it be a culture that lacks an inclusive approach? If so, what culture would enable women to better learn and thrive with music technology?

THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business here: https://book.aristake.comJason Grishkoff started a music blog called Indie Shuffle back in 2007, when music blogs were still cool. After a 3-year stint at Google, he was lucky to take the blog full-time in 2013. From 2014 to 2015 digital advertising in the music industry changed rapidly, and a number of bloggers found themselves looking for alternative sources of income. Many gave up to focus on their day jobs, but Jason decided to double-down on his coding abilities and created a website called SubmitHub, where musicians, labels and publicists could submit their songs to blogs like Indie Shuffle. Flash forward to 2022 and nearly 30 million submissions have been submitted through the platform. Jason still runs the operation as the only developer, and the product is constantly evolving to meet the needs of the modern music promotion industry.07:30 Welcome09:42 Ari's Take review of SubmitHub15:50 SubmitHub business model / where the curators come from22:46 Submitting playlist campaigns / navigating Spotify's algorithm36:13 Inside Spotify for Artists' playlist data41:39 EveryNoise.com (every genre ever)45:10 Spotify's personal, algorithmic and editorial playlists56:05 'Hot or Not' feedback feature1:06:40 Instagram / TikTok influencer marketing services1:20:26 Current state of music blogs1:31:50 Final questionSubscribe to The New Music Business: https://aristake.com/nmbAri's Take Academy (use code NMB for 10% off): https://aristakeacademy.comWatch more discussions like this: https://bit.ly/3LavMpaConnect with Ari's Take:Website: https://aristake.comAcademy: https://aristakeacademy.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aristake_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aris.takeTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArisTakeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/aristake1 Connect with Ari Herstand:Website: https://ariherstand.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/ariherstandTwitter: https://twitter.com/ariherstandYouTube: https://youtube.com/ariherstandConnect with Jason GrishkoffWebsite: https://www.submithub.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/submithubTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/submit_hubLinkedIn: https://za.linkedin.com/in/jasongrishkoffEdited and mixed by Maxton HunterMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's Take Hosted on Acast.

If your first few attempts at self-producing your music have left you feeling like throwing in the towel, this episode is for you. Jess Magoch is an award winning Philadelphia based Hip Hop/Jazz artist who decided it was time to become more independent through developing her skills in recording and production. But as Jess shares in her chat with Isobel, it wasn't a straightforward process. It took patience, practice and self-compassion for Jess to gradually build up her production chops and, eventually, she and other people couldn't believe how good her recordings were sounding. In fact, a major sync exec for brands like Vogue and Vanity Fair was blown away by Jess' production skills. What's even better is that Jess now feels 100 X more confident, independent and excited about her music moving forward.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{0:00} Intro{06:40} How Jess got started in music and how she used it to find her voice{11:30} Why you're never ‘too old' to pursue your music{18:00} The moment when a major sync exec was blown away by Jess's production skills{24:39} The process of learning and taking action is more important than the ‘perfect' outcome{34:24} The most important lessons Jess has learned from recording and and producing her music {40:45} How learning these skills has allowed Jess to communicate her ideas with confidence and produce her music on her terms{58:07} Jess shares the plans for her forthcoming album, Trivial Pursuit, and her advice for other DIY musicians{01:03:36} Episode SummaryPre-order Jess's new album, Trivial Pursuit >>Download Jess's unreleased song for FREE >>Find out more about Jess and follow her journey >> Register for the Home Recording Kickstarter: A LIVE 5 Day Challenge for Women In Music (Jan 27-31) >> https://femalediymusician.com/kickstarter Subscribe to the podcast wherever you're listening and don't miss an episode of Girls Twiddling Knobs ⚡️
