Her first guitar was a pawn shop Abilene, gifted to her by her daddy with a set of strings in 2007. Her biggest influences include: Bill Scranton, Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, John Denver, Carly Pearce, Pistol Annies, Johnny Cash, Ashley McBryde, Merle Haggard, Tammy Cochran, Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, SHeDaisy, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Sr. & The Dixie Chicks.

En este episodio especial desde la cuarentena, Pablo platica sobre uno de sus artistas favoritos: Frank Ocean. Un musicología con mucha música y poca psicología.
A tornado blew around the Aural Fixation recording studio before we came, and, well, excuse the mess it made! Ok, that analogy can only go so far, but nonetheless, the memorable opener from Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin Bout You” has endured since it’s 2012 release on Channel Orange. At the time, a ground-breaking hip hop album documenting the lost loves of a 23 year old finding out who he is, Frank had us shook with the mainstream explosion of queerness in a traditionally not-very-queer music scene. Or, so it seems. Eight years later, Drew and Andy venture not too far down memory lane to assess how well this early-10s masterpiece has aged, and the current state-of-play in queer hip hop today. This fortnight, we’re asking you to like or follow us on Facebook! Yes, some people in 2020 still actually use Facebook, and we’re expanding our presence in Mark Zuckerberg’s world. Our Spotify companion playlist is as intriguingly diverse as ever, and you can also follow the pod on Instagram at @auralfixationpodcast, while the boys are on @drew_down_under and @andrewdoyouthinkyouare.
