In this episode of the Launchpad connect podcast, Ash Doherty spoke with the wonderful composer, keyboardist and vocalist Jemma Freese. Jemma’s Project ‘Freese Trio’ was supported through Launchpad in 2019 with 1-1 mentoring and funding towards recording. For those who aren’t familiar with Freese Trio’s sound, they are a heavy triphop electronica post-punk band whose compositions explore inner demons and difficult truths.
We recorded this episode in September 2020, and since then Jemma has gone on to release music with multiple bands including the album ‘Cut Throat’ with J Frisco, ‘Someone New’ with DOMI and ‘Nature Always Wins’ with Maximo Park.
In this episode we talked about the benefits of mentoring, taking all the opportunities you can get your hands on and confidence.
