On this episode of the Trust the Band Podcast, I had the awesome pleasure of sitting down with Carlyn, a truly gifted human with a vibe and sound I adore. We dive deep into her journey as an indie artist, the pros and cons of being with a label versus staying independent, and how she's navigated her own artistic versatility in an industry that often tries to put musicians in a box. As Carlyn says, “Indie is really the way right now... everything is so reachable with DIY type things now.”
We also get into her songwriting process, where Carlyn shares how she finds the right words and melodies, and why emotional honesty and vulnerability are now at the heart of her music. “I was so scared of people knowing that I felt things... Now that I don’t care, I’m just able to live that way and make music that way.”
If you’re an artist or just a fan of real, raw conversations about music and life, you don’t want to miss this episode. Carlyn’s insights on creativity, emotional growth, and the ever-evolving music industry are powerful and inspiring.
