Last episode of Season 1!

In this episode I chat with award winning singer songwriter, Shani Rose, about what it takes to be a songwriter, and what that career path looks like. We get into songwriting camps, syncs, and co-writing. We also touch on performance anxiety, and how improv and co-writing have some parallels.
