Ep. 27 - Coming into Their Magic Through Songwriting with Mel

Welcome to Empathetic Musicians! I had such a pleasure talking with soul artist Mel (they/them) and diving into their absolutely magical world. I was transformed energetically that day when we had this conversation around music and mental health. Mel currently performs in the Santa Cruz area!

"It's really EMPOWERING to LET OURSELVES SPEAK. To LET OURSELVES SHARE a message because I feel like there is SO MUCH TO LEARN IN THIS LIFE. There is SO MUCH TO SHARE. [Music has] been SUCH A HUGE ALLY FOR ME." - Mel

As always our core values are Vulnerability, Imperfections, Empathy, and Being Seen.

Highlights from this episode:

5:14 - on using their voice

8:30 - the magic of their songwriting and singing

11:21 - on playing their first live set with an audience and being seen

21:46 - music theory as a piece of the puzzle and not the main way to access musical talent

27:46 - *SOMETHING WE HAVE NEVER DONE ON THE PODCAST!!*
