What happens when an artist steps away from their craft, finds themselves again, and returns with a renewed sense of joy and creative purpose? On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, host Adam Lisicky reconnects with the incomparable Gavin Turek, just weeks after the release of her brand-new album, Diva of the People. It's been three years since Gavin first joined the show to talk about her debut album, Madam Gold—a time shaped by struggle, transformation, and the challenges of releasing music during the pandemic. In this candid conversation, Gavin shares how that era left her exhausted and questioning her path, leading her to take a much-needed break, travel abroad, and rediscover her passion for music on her own terms. We dig into her journey growing up in LA surrounded by art, the all-in hustle of commuting to an arts high school, and how early MySpace connections shaped her career. Gavin opens up about fully trusting her vision, the power of working with new collaborators, and why Diva of the People marks both a return to her dance-focused roots and a reclaiming of the joy that first drew her to music. If you've ever wondered how to keep your creative fire burning—especially through burnout, setbacks, and the pressure to conform—this episode is for you. Don't miss Gavin's inspiring advice for aspiring artists, her behind-the-scenes look at the indie album process, and her honest reflections on what it takes to sound exactly the way you hear yourself in your mind.

“Be a homie & let us know what you think”What happens when spiritual philosophy meets beatmaking? Kershawn Tha Don answers this question through her soulful productions and community-building efforts, guided by her core belief that "love is the highest vibration."The Long Beach-based producer takes us through her musical evolution, from singing in a Baptist church choir to performing with Beat Cinema on Coachella's prestigious Gobi Stage in 2023. "Music is so important in those spaces because it sets up the atmosphere... to open up your spirit to receive," she reflects, revealing how her spiritual foundation influences her creative approach.Kershawn's journey into beatmaking began in 2008, experimenting with Fruity Loops during night shifts as a CNA after being inspired by 9th Wonder's production on Little Brother's "The Listening." Her artistic progression unfolds through albums like "Union Electric" (2020), which she describes with charming candor as her "cringe album" made without overthinking, and "Butter" (2023), crafted primarily using the Koala app and SP-555.Beyond her own productions, Kershawn has created vital space for women in music through "Ladies Love Loops," a live music series showcasing female producers, singers, MCs, and DJs. "I did it to expose everybody to each other for collaboration," she explains, highlighting how building community remains central to her mission.The conversation takes an exciting turn when Naj Ahead joins to discuss their forthcoming collaborative album "He's My Muse," dropping in October 2025. This project promises a modern take on neo-soul with Erykah Badu-inspired vibes, complete with limited edition physical copies featuring a lyric booklet. "It's a love story and it goes from the beginning to the end," Kershawn shares, noting it's designed for "nostalgic old souls."Whether you're a beatmaker, a fan of underground hip-hop, or someone who believes in music's power to build community, this episode offers rare insight into creating authentically while lifting others up.

Simply put, there is nothing trifling about Kathleen Wirt. Running the legendary 4th Street Studios in Santa Monica for 35 years, she's seen it all and then some. And yet she continues to be passionate about music and the arts, and curious about the human condition. It's a fascinating conversation.
Norwegian hornist Frøydis Wekre has had a remarkable and influential career as both performer and teacher. She joined the Oslo Philharmonic at the age of 20, at a time when there were only two women in the orchestra, and went on to establish herself as a highly respected chamber musician, soloist, and educator. For many years, she served as a professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music, and her reach has extended far beyond Norway through the countless masterclasses she's given around the world. Widely regarded as one of the leading brass pedagogues of her generation, Frøydis has inspired students and professionals alike with her wisdom, insight, and artistry.In Part 1 of our conversation, we begin by discussing a metaphor from her book Collected Writings, in which she compares two types of teachers to a family doctor and a specialist—one who works with a student long-term, and another who is brought in to address a specific need. It's a concept that resonates deeply in the teaching world, and Frøydis shares how it has shaped her own approach to working with students. We also talk about her experience playing natural horn and explore the different national and cultural styles of horn playing that she has encountered throughout her career. The first part concludes with reflections on her studies with several legendary figures in the brass world: Vitali Bujanovsky, Wilhelm Lanzky-Otto, and James Stamp.[Subscriber Content] In Part 2, Froydis shares her perspective on international competitions, including thoughts on fairness and how such events might be improved. This leads into a broader conversation about women in music and how the landscape has changed—and in some ways, still needs to change—over the course of her career. We wrap up with a few light, miscellaneous questions, giving Frøydis the chance to reflect on her life and work with both humor and depth.It was a privilege to speak with someone who has not only shaped the horn world but continues to influence generations of musicians through her teaching, writing, and example.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

In 1996, she founded the Sorel Organization to expand opportunities and stretch the boundaries for promising emerging female musicians through a variety of collaborations and scholarships, and to acknowledge notable masters in the field.On today's date in 2022, for example, Cuban-born American composer Tania J. León was awarded the Organization's Sorel Legacy Medallion for her life and work in music.While still in her 20s, León became a founding member and the first musical director of the Dance Theater of Harlem, establishing its music department, school, and orchestra. She has composed a number of both large scale and chamber works that have been performed here and abroad. In February 2020, the New York Philharmonic premiered her orchestral piece Stride and in 2021 that work was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music.León said, “Stride was inspired by women's rights pioneer Susan B. Anthony. She kept pushing and pushing and moving forward, walking with firm steps until she got [it] done. That is what Stride means. Something that is moving forward.”Music Played in Today's ProgramTania León (b. 1943): Batá; Louisville Orchestra; Lawrence Leighton Smith, conductor; Soundmark CD 48027

From the moment she heard a guitar being played in an empty classroom at her convent school in the Philippines in 1961, June Millington knew what she wanted to do with her life: rock and roll. So when a girl called up June and her sister and asked if they wanted to start a band, the answer was hell yeah. They went on to become Fanny, the first all-female rock band to release an album with a major record label. June and her bandmates moved into a house in LA, toured the world and won fans like David Bowie. But they were also up against sexist stereotypes, skeptical audiences and critics who couldn’t believe that a group of women could rock just as hard as any guy. But June wasn’t about to let that stop her. This is the story of how she stuck it to the man and blazed a trail for generations of female musicians to come. June is the co-founder of the Institute for the Musical Arts, which offers workshops and events for women in music: https://ima.org/ We want YOUR stories for our Girlfriends hotline!

Cass Elliot, AKA "Mama Cass" from The Mamas and The Papas, broke the mold of female pop superstardom and shattered expectations of what women in music “should” be. She also was arrested in London for theft, dated international drug dealers, and tanked what was supposed to be a career-defining solo performance while flying high on Iranian hashish. To this day, the biggest controversy swirling around the singer is her connection to the 1969 Manson Family murders. Her actions during the so-called “Summer of Love” might even be why the motive for the murders America has come to accept as fact…is actually entirely false.
