We have a guest all the way in California, LA
to be exact, Midwest May though. Okay, she just dropped
the new single called Medusa. It's out now we're about
to listen to it. Singer songwriter, the talented, the incredible Brin.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Alison Yes aka Brittany.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yes, we need the pooh there we go. We got it.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did get it. Yeah, I
saw that. I saw that on the Instagram handle.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well, you know, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
The reason that that's there is because my name unfortunately
reads like Brian to a lot of people, especially in
the Midwest, especially out of Starbucks, and so I was like,
you know, meaning people a lot of things. People think
it's Brittany. So I was a Winnie the Pooh girl
grind up. So I was a Winny you know.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, we need the Pooh all the way. I'm a fan.
And tell me real quick, tell us real quick. How
is the LA scene, how's the music scene?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What's going down?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I meet such creative, inspiring people. I also meet some
people who are weird as fuck, because you can imagine.
And at the end of the day, I take it
home and I'm just grateful. It's really lovely. I moved
out here at the end of twenty twenty three. Beginning
of twenty twenty four is when I really kind of
(03:26):
hit the ground running on on doing all the music stuff.
But this is everything I ever dreamed, was getting out
of the cornfields and like into a big city and
like getting to meet and collaborate with people that I
admire and people that I didn't even know would be
my friends. I loved how you addressed as a best
friends at the beginning, by the way, like I really
come and attack my shows, like we're all at a
(03:47):
slumber party and you're about to hear all my deepest,
darkest secrets. So thank you. Yeah I do. I do, though,
Like songwriting is so vulnerable, So yeah, I'm in la
I am literally surrounded by the most talented people that
I know, so I could be more grateful. I learned
from them every single day.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, it's super dope. You're gonna go far. I already
know that number. Yeah, no, du I like how you
said you like being with the creatives out there, and
you just moved there at the end of twenty twenty three,
twenty twenty four, you hit the ground running. Here we
are today in April, and what do you think about
it so far? You're just grateful you and you've learned
(04:29):
a few things here and there.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, I've learned a lot about myself. I've learned a
lot about who I am as a musician. I've learned
a lot about like building community, because it's like the
first time I've been out of my hometown, out of
my college town, and yeah, it's it's it's really I
am really grateful. I'm really grateful for the friendships that
I'm cultivating.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Something that I.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Didn't know before I came out here was like, sometimes
you have to be really, really really comfortable with a
person in order to co write with them. And so
I'm just right now taking my time getting to know
the people out here, like sitting down with them, doing
the lunches and the coffees and the really just trying
to build community. And it's been really rewarding. As much
(05:13):
as I put into it, I get out of it.
So yeah, just grateful, Like you said, super dope.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So what made you go from the Midwest to the
West Coast.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
A lot of the people I just love most in
the world are out here, and I love the sunshine.
I grew up in a I grew up in a
culture where it's like three feet of snow October to March,
and so I've dealt with a lot of health issues
both in my career as a singer songwriter. But I
actually have a really large theater background, and so most
(05:45):
people expected me to move to New York after school
because that's like what I love, and that's what kind
of would have logistically made sense.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I wrote musicals. I like, that's my kind of nerdy love.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Doing this, doing like the brit out Us and shit
is so different and so rewarding in so many different ways,
right because like on theater, you get to you get
to play a character. You do the same shows eight
nights a week. And here you're getting like full me,
You're getting full vulnerability, You're getting full like diary while
I'm stuffing my face with oreos at three am, like honesty,
(06:18):
you know. And so I I've learned a lot about
balancing those two things while I've been out here.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Super cool.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I like that you were You moved out there because
of the sunshine, super rope. I like going out there.
I'll be out there soon. And as well as theater,
is that what you went to school for?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It was theater?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, I went to school for directing.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So I didn't even go to school.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
For like perform. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I didn't even go to school for performance.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I went to school because I loved world building, and
I think I always kind of associate like storytelling with
songwriting with directing. The all live in the same place
in my brain, so I get geet excited about them
in different ways.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah. Quick questions. So you went to school in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I was schooling Indiana.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
We got shoutouts coming through. Do you okay, okay? Did
you ever go to Illinois?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, So I grew up in Michigan. Uh where we
are kind of close to South Bend, Indiana, and we're
on the right other side. They call that little part
of it Michiana. It's really cute little Shana Shiana. You
can take a train right into Chicago from from where
I'm from.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, sweet, okay, let me get this right then.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So do you know colleges very well over there, because
I'm wearing an an IU Huskies.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Where is that from?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Is that Northern Illinois University? Yeah? Yeah, I know, I
know of people who go there, and I know I
really what I remember is the Huskies.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
So I love that you ended.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Up in Colorado as a Husky.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's funny you say that because it shout out to
my girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
She came through. She's from Illinois out there. Yeah, and
so I'm just I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Just wearing it because I was cold, I said, Baby, said, baby,
I need a broad jacket.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But it was meant to it was meant to be
for me to wear it. So we can, you know,
talk about that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, absolutely, I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Hey so great so for the Midwest, and now you're
in La doing big things.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I got so many questions to ask you. And how
only you been playing guitar?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Uh? Since I was thirteen? So my dad made me
all when I was growing up, and my mom was
a costumer for the theater, So like being in performance,
being in in entertainment was never completely off the table
for me, and.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I feel really lucky in that way.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Wow, my dad truly just passed his guitar onto me
when I was probably twelve or thirteen, and I'd always
been writing songs in my head and I had heard
music in my head like my whole life. So you
get to pick up a vessel to do it with
was like the most magical thing that's ever happened to me.
And I'm grateful every day that I decided to pick
it up when I did.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
So do you still play with that same guitar or
do you have a new one.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
So that guitar actually got passed on to my nephew,
which is really cool. I'm glad that it kind of
gets as this generational roundabouts of like the artist and
the family. So yeah, my nephew, Elliott hasn't now shout out, Elliott,
if you're listening.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Playing it, what I said, Elliott, you better be. You
better be.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Playing videos from my dad that he is. So have
my own guitar now out here, but I'm missing my
home guitar and my home piano for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That's what's up.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
My nephew has a guitar. His name's Owen, and he
needs to.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Practice it more. He just sometimes just looks at it.
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to tell him all bro,
you to pick that thing back up soon, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And it's funny you ask about the guitars specifically because
recently I just had a conversation with one of my
friends in the performance world in LA that, like, the
guitar feels like such a vessel for me to hide
behind now that I'm not in theater, because you know,
the glittery costumes and the sparkle and the jash shoes
and the choreography, but on it's just you and the guitar.
(10:18):
All you got to hide behind is the guitar. So
I'm feeling a little more like grateful for it as
I like go on stage alone, that I like have
that partner in this instrument that I love so dearly
to lean on.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Hey, I know I know about that my guitar too.
So how many guitars you got out there? Just one, two, three, two?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So I'm my acoustic and then I have an electric
and I got both on Facebook marketplace and I'm like, literally,
I think I drove to the middle of Illinois to
get one of them.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
One of the acoustics that I have now is really cool.
It has a bunch of like Egyptian hieroglyphics and stuff
on it. And I was like a Percy Jackson kid,
so like obsessed, right, But I got it from guy
who his grandpa had passed and his grandpa was a
guitar collector and he was just and I picked the
(11:10):
one that I felt like called my name, and it
like it has been my guitar ever since. And I
found out like it was like a rare like limited
edition like years later, and like this guy just had
no idea what it was worth. And I bought it
for like three hundred bucks off of Facebook marketplace. So
it's a good success story. Anytime someone compliments it at
a gig, I'm like, oh boy, do I have a
(11:30):
story for you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, that's really cool because you those are the best purchases.
Is when you get in then you're like, WHOA. They
didn't even know about this.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
They didn't even know how special they were what they
were letting go, which is so cheap for life too.
Like you hear so many artists who get dropped from
their labels or X y Z. It's like they didn't
even know what they were letting go of, and they
let go of it and so.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Good today.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's a great story. Hey, shout out real quick to
AI a collaborative. Tell me a little bit about that
I've been.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I've been.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I was there last year in August performed. I did
like a seven minute set. I was there last year.
And then they're coming this year to Denver in like
two weeks, and I'll be at that.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, And I said they're going to Atlanta, They're going
to Denver. They're popping up all over the place, which
is really fucking awesome. I've been really lucky to be
involved with a couple organizations since I moved out here,
and one of my friends from Long Beach recommended a
collaborative to me, and so the first time they asked
me to come and play, I actually had COVID, and
I was hugely disappointed because I had COVID and all
(12:40):
I wanted to do was be on stage and so
and meet people and you know, get the network yet
But no. I played with them last weekend in Venice,
and it was awesome. I was the first one who
went up, and I was dealing with a little bit
of a personal situation, and like they just handled it
so lovely, like the care that they put into their
(13:04):
artists and their people and their audiences who show up,
and like it's been such a lovely experience, not only
getting to know them, but like all the like lovely
spaces that people create for independent artists in the LA
community is like just everything I could have ever dreamed of.
Because credit gets sold the lie when you're out in
(13:25):
the Midwest that when you moved to LA, or you
moved to New York, or you moved to wherever in Nashville,
that if you don't get signed to a label in
your first month, you've failed.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yeah, and that is just such a lie.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Like it's the best time in the world to be
an independent artist. So I'm so thankful for organizations like
AIA who make the space for independence.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, no doubt. I was totally like you said, when
I went out there. I was just they welcomed me
with open arms. It was just an amazing time. I
learned so much from other artists and still to this
day used what I learned from that day I went
out there. So I agree with you. I think it's
just super inspiring. You got up and went out there,
(14:11):
very encouraging, uplifting, because.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
That's what I'm all about.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And I got I got, I gotta. I want everybody
to hear your song real quick. So here we go. Yeah,
no doubt. Before we get into that real quick, guys,
hold on, I don't want to do that. I don't
know what I did exit out of that. Hold on,

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah. So I wrote Medusa two or three years ago. Yeah,
and I made it with some really awesome people out
of Indiana. Shout out Ray and John and Ebeny. You
guys are awesome. And I wrote it because I was
sitting in a coffee shop one day in my small
(18:53):
town in Indiana and my walked in and walked out,
and it was one of those moments where it all
just kind of hits you, where.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
You realize why things maybe weren't.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
As pressure perfect as you thought they were. And I
wrote the song Medusa, and it truly helped me heal.
It was a magical spell that helped me heal through coffee.
So I hope you drink the song with your wanting
coffee and scream it in the car.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Okay, thank you for the back the back story behind
this amazing single Medusa. And sometimes you know when you

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Nice, so mush yeah, no, dietybody needs to go blow
that up right now, go follow Go subscribe to Brent
Alison in the songs called Medusa. That's how I found her.
Or go to the links right now, go to the links.
We'll take it straight to it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It's that easy. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
The reasons I like that song is because it that
little ring that you had in the background, that ring
like from the bike or something.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, the bike bell was sick.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Honestly, it is one of my favorite parts too, and
it's like the main the number one piece of feedback
are people like I love the bike belly and it's
so funny because that was like an idea we had
while we were making the song, and it was heavily,
heavily inspired by the Little Bell in Scott Street by
Phoebe Bridgers. I love Phoebe Bridgers and I love that album,
(23:23):
and I of course like loved to give my my
hats off to artists who came before me who inspire
me greatly, and so I'm glad it came through not
only on like the inspiration site, but on the lyricism
side too.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
No, it was deep. Thank you so much for bringing
that in.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Brought me back to when I was a kid, and
when the drums came in, when the build up and
the bridge in the bridge or whatever you want to
call it, the drums coming that was cool.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I really wanted that to feel, And I told the
lovely producer of the song, rare rep local. I told them,
like when we started production on this song like that
moment felt like a teaking of age moment, like movie
like when you're like you see the montage in your
head of all the things you didn't see. Yeah, I
(24:10):
feel like that. I take a very very like theatrical
approach to all the music that I make, and I
think every song that I write or album that I
create will always kind of start off from a concept
to place. And all I could think about was that
I wanted you to feel like you were my best
friends sitting across from me in that coffee shop, like
(24:30):
watching this me all realize this, or having you be
me in this situation and like realize that all of
these things weren't as perfect as you thought that they
were at one point, and like that's healing and that's
growing and cheers to that man. Cheers to healing and growing.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Cheers to healing and growing. And you know this is
now that we're in the future.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You know, see you at a coffee shop and if
you're like you said, you're just like if I was
someone was there next to you and share you're sharing
the story. You just pull up this like you know,
because we're in the futuristic now, you know, you pull
out this like this this this flat screen, you know
how they do now, and you'd be like and and
and and then you can see all the events happening
(25:14):
because you make it a theatrical theatrical ideas.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It's that's it's so awesome how you explained that in
my space.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Second favorite thing, well my fifth, second seventh is when
you said in the lyrics, this is the deepest part
of the lyrics.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
For me, okay, is your room?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
This is your room? Is your room the same? That
is deep right there? Oh my gosh. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I mean, like I'm someone who every time I have
a mental breakdown, I either have to like change my
hair or change my room durssically.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And I don't know if, like other if that's just
like psycho behavior.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
On my part or it's right, it's like you learn
like all of these things, but like through the years,
like you know, you go into your childhood bedroom and
you like wonder if that's going to still be the
same as as you left it. I think looking at
your room is such a reflection of like your medical case.
And I like with the people I love, their bedrooms
(26:17):
are always going to be imprinted in the back of
my mind. Like whether I want them to or not,
so something I think about a lot. So I'm glad
you like that for some anyone's ever said that to me,
So thank you for noticing.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Oh man, and throughout the whole song, that's the biggest
one that popped out.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So you know, we got seven minutes left.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I still want to ask you a couple of questions,
so thank you so much for your patience. The questions
are coming up right now, and it goes like this,
what is your favorite and least favorite part.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
About being a recording artist.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
My favorite part is that I just get to play
all day, like I feel like I have just by
like saying I'm an artist and doing the thing and
like really pursuing music.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
The last couple of years, I've healed my inner child
more than I ever like could ask for.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Like I just get to play and dress up and
be sparkly and sings the song I wrote on my
bedroom floor, and that's all like little me ever wanted
to do. And in the same vein as that, my
least favorite part is how fucking hard is as a
woman to like keep up with the perspective of who
people want you to be and the image that you
are on stage and still like protect yourself and protect
(27:35):
your piece and protect your energy.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
It's a very hard.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Balance that I'm always like trying to find. And I think, like,
it's not even just women, it's it's it's anyone who
feels like they have to be a different persona than
maybe who they are the second they step off stage.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
It's a very tricky.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Balance and it's something that I'm learning all the time
out here, especially like I moved out to LA just
because of the pure massive opportunity be out here, and
so it's just something I'm learning to handle every day.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Beautiful. I like what you said there.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
You get to play all day and importantly you gotta
protect yourself and your positive energy.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Man, this is so awesome. I'm so you're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You're gonna do amazing stuff out there. You're gonna be
a lot of success out there. Watch and yeah, no doubt.
I got so many questions in such a little time.
Let's keep it going.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Here we go. That was great, right there a great answer.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Next one goes like this, what is the biggest lesson
you have learned following your music journey? It could be
from could be from when you traveled from Midwest to there.
It could be when you went to the studio, could
be from your bookings, could be your emails. What's the
biggest lesson you've learned in your journey so far?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I'm gonna doublehead of this is trust, and just ask trust.
Every time I've been the closest to quitting music is
when I've been the closest in a career breakthrough or
a personal breakthrough.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
And I just think that there's such a lesson to
be learned.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Like I the album that I'm making now, I lost twice,
like someone took it from me and like left my
life and ghosted me in the first version of this album.
In the second version of this album, I was in
full creative control.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
It was all on a.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Flash drive, and I lost the flash drive, and of course.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It magically reappeared. But I had to take a serious,
like look at myself and be like, Okay, if you
really want this, you have to be willing to lose
things that like mean a lot to you, or things
trust in, Like the things going not in the way
that you thought that they were, they were going to wow.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So we got right here just and just ask you,
that's the other one. You said, yes.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
It's like you never know who can be a connec
to you, and you never know, Like I'm such a
big fan of saying your dreams out loud, Like all
I have won it since I was freaking ten years
old is to tour and play my music. Yeah, And
all I did in college was say I wasn't good
enough to do that.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
And then the second the flip in my brain switched
of just saying it out loud and just asking people
and letting no be okay and letting no sit and
looking at is that not as a no, but a
not now and something better like trusting.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That knows are just opportunities for bigger yesses that are
more right for you to come along.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Is like you just got to ask. You just got
to ask because you never know, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, you got to ask. And that can go from
many things.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
When you're networking, when you're sending emails, when you're doing
cold calls, when you're out, when you're on the bout
doing your own thing.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You just never know, So just ask. I like, oh,
great stuff, right there.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
We can talk a lot about that, but we got
two minutes left and I got your I'm gonna close
it out on another song called Hopeless Romantic.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Oh yes, oh yes, the title track to my second record,
She's She's My Baby. What can I say?
Speaker 4 (31:15):
What can I say?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
A really special place in my heart? And I think
all of us have a little bit of like hopeless
Romantic in us, So I hope this one settles.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Straight up, straight up. Hey, keep killing it, keep doing
your thing.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You look fly and you know what You're gonna do
amazing things out there in LA. And when I come
out there, I'm gonna hit you up because I'll be
out there really soon.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I would love that. I would love love love.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
That, sweet sweet sweet, And yeah, I'm gonna have a
gig out there.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yes, I want to see you perform.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Sweet sweet Yep, it's gonna be legit. That's all I
got right now. Aero's entertainment podcast aerot dot com. We
got less than three minutes. The last question goes like this,
if someone's going through a tough time, what advice would
you give them?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I would say, take a walk.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
A lot of things can be solved by taking a
walk and getting out of your own head and eating
a warm meal with like the person you love the
most in the world.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I like that. Take a walk that does a lot
of things you have no idea. I like that.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
All right, cool, we're gonna close it out. Anything else
you want to say before we dip out.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Thank you so much for having me.

thank you for the energy that you're bringing. Oh my goodness,

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yesterday I went to the Hollywood Museum and I played
Dorothy and uh there was a couple of years ago
and I got to see the original ruby slippers, so
I was pretty hyped about that. But otherwise, I love
thrifting and I love vintage. Actually, this is my grandmother's scarf,
my Lola from the Philippines Night Nice everything that she
(33:18):
wore and is a huge style inspiration to me, and
I inherited her closet when she passed quite a few
years ago, and that really got me into thrifting in
vintage and and yeah, just try and close that that
I wouldn't usually try. So a lot of a lot
of drifting and a lot of music.

to be exact, Midwest May though. Okay, she just dropped
the new single called Medusa. It's out now we're about
to listen to it. Singer songwriter, the talented, the incredible Brin.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Alison Yes aka Brittany.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yes, we need the pooh there we go. We got it.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did get it. Yeah, I
saw that. I saw that on the Instagram handle.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well, you know, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
The reason that that's there is because my name unfortunately
reads like Brian to a lot of people, especially in
the Midwest, especially out of Starbucks, and so I was like,
you know, meaning people a lot of things. People think
it's Brittany. So I was a Winnie the Pooh girl
grind up. So I was a Winny you know.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, we need the Pooh all the way. I'm a fan.
And tell me real quick, tell us real quick. How
is the LA scene, how's the music scene?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What's going down?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I meet such creative, inspiring people. I also meet some
people who are weird as fuck, because you can imagine.
And at the end of the day, I take it
home and I'm just grateful. It's really lovely. I moved
out here at the end of twenty twenty three. Beginning
of twenty twenty four is when I really kind of
(03:26):
hit the ground running on on doing all the music stuff.
But this is everything I ever dreamed, was getting out
of the cornfields and like into a big city and
like getting to meet and collaborate with people that I
admire and people that I didn't even know would be
my friends. I loved how you addressed as a best
friends at the beginning, by the way, like I really
come and attack my shows, like we're all at a
(03:47):
slumber party and you're about to hear all my deepest,
darkest secrets. So thank you. Yeah I do. I do, though,
Like songwriting is so vulnerable, So yeah, I'm in la
I am literally surrounded by the most talented people that
I know, so I could be more grateful. I learned
from them every single day.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, it's super dope. You're gonna go far. I already
know that number. Yeah, no, du I like how you
said you like being with the creatives out there, and
you just moved there at the end of twenty twenty three,
twenty twenty four, you hit the ground running. Here we
are today in April, and what do you think about
it so far? You're just grateful you and you've learned
(04:29):
a few things here and there.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, I've learned a lot about myself. I've learned a
lot about who I am as a musician. I've learned
a lot about like building community, because it's like the
first time I've been out of my hometown, out of
my college town, and yeah, it's it's it's really I
am really grateful. I'm really grateful for the friendships that
I'm cultivating.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Something that I.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Didn't know before I came out here was like, sometimes
you have to be really, really really comfortable with a
person in order to co write with them. And so
I'm just right now taking my time getting to know
the people out here, like sitting down with them, doing
the lunches and the coffees and the really just trying
to build community. And it's been really rewarding. As much
(05:13):
as I put into it, I get out of it.
So yeah, just grateful, Like you said, super dope.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So what made you go from the Midwest to the
West Coast.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
A lot of the people I just love most in
the world are out here, and I love the sunshine.
I grew up in a I grew up in a
culture where it's like three feet of snow October to March,
and so I've dealt with a lot of health issues
both in my career as a singer songwriter. But I
actually have a really large theater background, and so most
(05:45):
people expected me to move to New York after school
because that's like what I love, and that's what kind
of would have logistically made sense.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I wrote musicals. I like, that's my kind of nerdy love.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Doing this, doing like the brit out Us and shit
is so different and so rewarding in so many different ways,
right because like on theater, you get to you get
to play a character. You do the same shows eight
nights a week. And here you're getting like full me,
You're getting full vulnerability, You're getting full like diary while
I'm stuffing my face with oreos at three am, like honesty,
(06:18):
you know. And so I I've learned a lot about
balancing those two things while I've been out here.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Super cool.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I like that you were You moved out there because
of the sunshine, super rope. I like going out there.
I'll be out there soon. And as well as theater,
is that what you went to school for?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It was theater?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, I went to school for directing.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So I didn't even go to school.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
For like perform. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I didn't even go to school for performance.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I went to school because I loved world building, and
I think I always kind of associate like storytelling with
songwriting with directing. The all live in the same place
in my brain, so I get geet excited about them
in different ways.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah. Quick questions. So you went to school in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I was schooling Indiana.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
We got shoutouts coming through. Do you okay, okay? Did
you ever go to Illinois?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, So I grew up in Michigan. Uh where we
are kind of close to South Bend, Indiana, and we're
on the right other side. They call that little part
of it Michiana. It's really cute little Shana Shiana. You
can take a train right into Chicago from from where
I'm from.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, sweet, okay, let me get this right then.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So do you know colleges very well over there, because
I'm wearing an an IU Huskies.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Where is that from?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Is that Northern Illinois University? Yeah? Yeah, I know, I
know of people who go there, and I know I
really what I remember is the Huskies.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
So I love that you ended.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Up in Colorado as a Husky.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's funny you say that because it shout out to
my girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
She came through. She's from Illinois out there. Yeah, and
so I'm just I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Just wearing it because I was cold, I said, Baby, said, baby,
I need a broad jacket.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But it was meant to it was meant to be
for me to wear it. So we can, you know,
talk about that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, absolutely, I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Hey so great so for the Midwest, and now you're
in La doing big things.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I got so many questions to ask you. And how
only you been playing guitar?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Uh? Since I was thirteen? So my dad made me
all when I was growing up, and my mom was
a costumer for the theater, So like being in performance,
being in in entertainment was never completely off the table
for me, and.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I feel really lucky in that way.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Wow, my dad truly just passed his guitar onto me
when I was probably twelve or thirteen, and I'd always
been writing songs in my head and I had heard
music in my head like my whole life. So you
get to pick up a vessel to do it with
was like the most magical thing that's ever happened to me.
And I'm grateful every day that I decided to pick
it up when I did.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
So do you still play with that same guitar or
do you have a new one.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
So that guitar actually got passed on to my nephew,
which is really cool. I'm glad that it kind of
gets as this generational roundabouts of like the artist and
the family. So yeah, my nephew, Elliott hasn't now shout out, Elliott,
if you're listening.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Playing it, what I said, Elliott, you better be. You
better be.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Playing videos from my dad that he is. So have
my own guitar now out here, but I'm missing my
home guitar and my home piano for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That's what's up.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
My nephew has a guitar. His name's Owen, and he
needs to.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Practice it more. He just sometimes just looks at it.
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to tell him all bro,
you to pick that thing back up soon, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And it's funny you ask about the guitars specifically because
recently I just had a conversation with one of my
friends in the performance world in LA that, like, the
guitar feels like such a vessel for me to hide
behind now that I'm not in theater, because you know,
the glittery costumes and the sparkle and the jash shoes
and the choreography, but on it's just you and the guitar.
(10:18):
All you got to hide behind is the guitar. So
I'm feeling a little more like grateful for it as
I like go on stage alone, that I like have
that partner in this instrument that I love so dearly
to lean on.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Hey, I know I know about that my guitar too.
So how many guitars you got out there? Just one, two, three, two?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So I'm my acoustic and then I have an electric
and I got both on Facebook marketplace and I'm like, literally,
I think I drove to the middle of Illinois to
get one of them.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
One of the acoustics that I have now is really cool.
It has a bunch of like Egyptian hieroglyphics and stuff
on it. And I was like a Percy Jackson kid,
so like obsessed, right, But I got it from guy
who his grandpa had passed and his grandpa was a
guitar collector and he was just and I picked the
(11:10):
one that I felt like called my name, and it
like it has been my guitar ever since. And I
found out like it was like a rare like limited
edition like years later, and like this guy just had
no idea what it was worth. And I bought it
for like three hundred bucks off of Facebook marketplace. So
it's a good success story. Anytime someone compliments it at
a gig, I'm like, oh boy, do I have a
(11:30):
story for you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, that's really cool because you those are the best purchases.
Is when you get in then you're like, WHOA. They
didn't even know about this.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
They didn't even know how special they were what they
were letting go, which is so cheap for life too.
Like you hear so many artists who get dropped from
their labels or X y Z. It's like they didn't
even know what they were letting go of, and they
let go of it and so.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Good today.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's a great story. Hey, shout out real quick to
AI a collaborative. Tell me a little bit about that
I've been.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I've been.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I was there last year in August performed. I did
like a seven minute set. I was there last year.
And then they're coming this year to Denver in like
two weeks, and I'll be at that.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, And I said they're going to Atlanta, They're going
to Denver. They're popping up all over the place, which
is really fucking awesome. I've been really lucky to be
involved with a couple organizations since I moved out here,
and one of my friends from Long Beach recommended a
collaborative to me, and so the first time they asked
me to come and play, I actually had COVID, and
I was hugely disappointed because I had COVID and all
(12:40):
I wanted to do was be on stage and so
and meet people and you know, get the network yet
But no. I played with them last weekend in Venice,
and it was awesome. I was the first one who
went up, and I was dealing with a little bit
of a personal situation, and like they just handled it
so lovely, like the care that they put into their
(13:04):
artists and their people and their audiences who show up,
and like it's been such a lovely experience, not only
getting to know them, but like all the like lovely
spaces that people create for independent artists in the LA
community is like just everything I could have ever dreamed of.
Because credit gets sold the lie when you're out in
(13:25):
the Midwest that when you moved to LA, or you
moved to New York, or you moved to wherever in Nashville,
that if you don't get signed to a label in
your first month, you've failed.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yeah, and that is just such a lie.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Like it's the best time in the world to be
an independent artist. So I'm so thankful for organizations like
AIA who make the space for independence.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, no doubt. I was totally like you said, when
I went out there. I was just they welcomed me
with open arms. It was just an amazing time. I
learned so much from other artists and still to this
day used what I learned from that day I went
out there. So I agree with you. I think it's
just super inspiring. You got up and went out there,
(14:11):
very encouraging, uplifting, because.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
That's what I'm all about.
Speaker 2 (14:15):

Medusa single before I play it?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Just a little bit about it.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah. So I wrote Medusa two or three years ago. Yeah,
and I made it with some really awesome people out
of Indiana. Shout out Ray and John and Ebeny. You
guys are awesome. And I wrote it because I was
sitting in a coffee shop one day in my small
(18:53):
town in Indiana and my walked in and walked out,
and it was one of those moments where it all
just kind of hits you, where.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
You realize why things maybe weren't.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
As pressure perfect as you thought they were. And I
wrote the song Medusa, and it truly helped me heal.
It was a magical spell that helped me heal through coffee.
So I hope you drink the song with your wanting
coffee and scream it in the car.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Okay, thank you for the back the back story behind
this amazing single Medusa. And sometimes you know when you
see you just know, hey, just keep it going, you
keep it trucking, and you do the things you love.
And here we are today doing a podcast live in

(19:45):
is called Medusa. Ladies and gentlemen, here we go.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Sorry you today in line for you, I.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Saw your friend and out the door you go.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I cut my hair, you changed your naming, you grew
up here, and my coffee was still the steam.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
Don't love me. I suppose you're more harman.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
I think your hearts made of stone like Modo salt.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And your bone.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I wonder your room stream. How was I supposed to
know that she was in your picture? A drinking tea.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Where in boos.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Can say I'm happy for you, but finally let you go.
You're such huck up.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Man you said it. I'm such a little kid. I
think you're hot tato stone, then.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Do sod horble.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I'll see coffee.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
You said you always knew though even slide stones hew
looms helped me lunch.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
You go.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Nice, so mush yeah, no, dietybody needs to go blow
that up right now, go follow Go subscribe to Brent
Alison in the songs called Medusa. That's how I found her.
Or go to the links right now, go to the links.
We'll take it straight to it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It's that easy. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
The reasons I like that song is because it that
little ring that you had in the background, that ring
like from the bike or something.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, the bike bell was sick.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Honestly, it is one of my favorite parts too, and
it's like the main the number one piece of feedback
are people like I love the bike belly and it's
so funny because that was like an idea we had
while we were making the song, and it was heavily,
heavily inspired by the Little Bell in Scott Street by
Phoebe Bridgers. I love Phoebe Bridgers and I love that album,
(23:23):
and I of course like loved to give my my
hats off to artists who came before me who inspire
me greatly, and so I'm glad it came through not
only on like the inspiration site, but on the lyricism
side too.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
No, it was deep. Thank you so much for bringing
that in.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Brought me back to when I was a kid, and
when the drums came in, when the build up and
the bridge in the bridge or whatever you want to
call it, the drums coming that was cool.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I really wanted that to feel, And I told the
lovely producer of the song, rare rep local. I told them,
like when we started production on this song like that
moment felt like a teaking of age moment, like movie
like when you're like you see the montage in your
head of all the things you didn't see. Yeah, I
(24:10):
feel like that. I take a very very like theatrical
approach to all the music that I make, and I
think every song that I write or album that I
create will always kind of start off from a concept
to place. And all I could think about was that
I wanted you to feel like you were my best
friends sitting across from me in that coffee shop, like
(24:30):
watching this me all realize this, or having you be
me in this situation and like realize that all of
these things weren't as perfect as you thought that they
were at one point, and like that's healing and that's
growing and cheers to that man. Cheers to healing and growing.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Cheers to healing and growing. And you know this is
now that we're in the future.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You know, see you at a coffee shop and if
you're like you said, you're just like if I was
someone was there next to you and share you're sharing
the story. You just pull up this like you know,
because we're in the futuristic now, you know, you pull
out this like this this this flat screen, you know
how they do now, and you'd be like and and
and and then you can see all the events happening
(25:14):
because you make it a theatrical theatrical ideas.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It's that's it's so awesome how you explained that in
my space.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Second favorite thing, well my fifth, second seventh is when
you said in the lyrics, this is the deepest part
of the lyrics.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
For me, okay, is your room?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
This is your room? Is your room the same? That
is deep right there? Oh my gosh. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I mean, like I'm someone who every time I have
a mental breakdown, I either have to like change my
hair or change my room durssically.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And I don't know if, like other if that's just
like psycho behavior.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
On my part or it's right, it's like you learn
like all of these things, but like through the years,
like you know, you go into your childhood bedroom and
you like wonder if that's going to still be the
same as as you left it. I think looking at
your room is such a reflection of like your medical case.
And I like with the people I love, their bedrooms
(26:17):
are always going to be imprinted in the back of
my mind. Like whether I want them to or not,
so something I think about a lot. So I'm glad
you like that for some anyone's ever said that to me,
So thank you for noticing.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Oh man, and throughout the whole song, that's the biggest
one that popped out.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So you know, we got seven minutes left.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I still want to ask you a couple of questions,
so thank you so much for your patience. The questions
are coming up right now, and it goes like this,
what is your favorite and least favorite part.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
About being a recording artist.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
My favorite part is that I just get to play
all day, like I feel like I have just by
like saying I'm an artist and doing the thing and
like really pursuing music.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
The last couple of years, I've healed my inner child
more than I ever like could ask for.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Like I just get to play and dress up and
be sparkly and sings the song I wrote on my
bedroom floor, and that's all like little me ever wanted
to do. And in the same vein as that, my
least favorite part is how fucking hard is as a
woman to like keep up with the perspective of who
people want you to be and the image that you
are on stage and still like protect yourself and protect
(27:35):
your piece and protect your energy.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
It's a very hard.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Balance that I'm always like trying to find. And I think, like,
it's not even just women, it's it's it's anyone who
feels like they have to be a different persona than
maybe who they are the second they step off stage.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
It's a very tricky.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Balance and it's something that I'm learning all the time
out here, especially like I moved out to LA just
because of the pure massive opportunity be out here, and
so it's just something I'm learning to handle every day.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Beautiful. I like what you said there.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
You get to play all day and importantly you gotta
protect yourself and your positive energy.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Man, this is so awesome. I'm so you're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You're gonna do amazing stuff out there. You're gonna be
a lot of success out there. Watch and yeah, no doubt.
I got so many questions in such a little time.
Let's keep it going.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Here we go. That was great, right there a great answer.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Next one goes like this, what is the biggest lesson
you have learned following your music journey? It could be
from could be from when you traveled from Midwest to there.
It could be when you went to the studio, could
be from your bookings, could be your emails. What's the
biggest lesson you've learned in your journey so far?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I'm gonna doublehead of this is trust, and just ask trust.
Every time I've been the closest to quitting music is
when I've been the closest in a career breakthrough or
a personal breakthrough.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
And I just think that there's such a lesson to
be learned.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Like I the album that I'm making now, I lost twice,
like someone took it from me and like left my
life and ghosted me in the first version of this album.
In the second version of this album, I was in
full creative control.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
It was all on a.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Flash drive, and I lost the flash drive, and of course.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It magically reappeared. But I had to take a serious,
like look at myself and be like, Okay, if you
really want this, you have to be willing to lose
things that like mean a lot to you, or things
trust in, Like the things going not in the way
that you thought that they were, they were going to wow.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So we got right here just and just ask you,
that's the other one. You said, yes.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
It's like you never know who can be a connec
to you, and you never know, Like I'm such a
big fan of saying your dreams out loud, Like all
I have won it since I was freaking ten years
old is to tour and play my music. Yeah, And
all I did in college was say I wasn't good
enough to do that.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
And then the second the flip in my brain switched
of just saying it out loud and just asking people
and letting no be okay and letting no sit and
looking at is that not as a no, but a
not now and something better like trusting.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That knows are just opportunities for bigger yesses that are
more right for you to come along.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Is like you just got to ask. You just got
to ask because you never know, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, you got to ask. And that can go from
many things.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
When you're networking, when you're sending emails, when you're doing
cold calls, when you're out, when you're on the bout
doing your own thing.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You just never know, So just ask. I like, oh,
great stuff, right there.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
We can talk a lot about that, but we got
two minutes left and I got your I'm gonna close
it out on another song called Hopeless Romantic.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Oh yes, oh yes, the title track to my second record,
She's She's My Baby. What can I say?
Speaker 4 (31:15):
What can I say?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
A really special place in my heart? And I think
all of us have a little bit of like hopeless
Romantic in us, So I hope this one settles.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Straight up, straight up. Hey, keep killing it, keep doing
your thing.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You look fly and you know what You're gonna do
amazing things out there in LA. And when I come
out there, I'm gonna hit you up because I'll be
out there really soon.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I would love that. I would love love love.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
That, sweet sweet sweet, And yeah, I'm gonna have a
gig out there.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yes, I want to see you perform.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Sweet sweet Yep, it's gonna be legit. That's all I
got right now. Aero's entertainment podcast aerot dot com. We
got less than three minutes. The last question goes like this,
if someone's going through a tough time, what advice would
you give them?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I would say, take a walk.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
A lot of things can be solved by taking a
walk and getting out of your own head and eating
a warm meal with like the person you love the
most in the world.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I like that. Take a walk that does a lot
of things you have no idea. I like that.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
All right, cool, we're gonna close it out. Anything else
you want to say before we dip out.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
This is so sick.
Speaker 3 (32:33):

platforming indie artists and platforming people who just love what
they do and are excited to talk about it. And
thank you for the energy that you're bringing. Oh my goodness,
it's it's getting me there too.

I appreciate it, ain no doubt, no doubt. Hey, what
are some fun things you like to do in La
Do you go out to the beach? Do you go
to the Universal Studios? Do you go out to Disney
or what's up, Jess?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yesterday I went to the Hollywood Museum and I played
Dorothy and uh there was a couple of years ago
and I got to see the original ruby slippers, so
I was pretty hyped about that. But otherwise, I love
thrifting and I love vintage. Actually, this is my grandmother's scarf,
my Lola from the Philippines Night Nice everything that she
(33:18):
wore and is a huge style inspiration to me, and
I inherited her closet when she passed quite a few
years ago, and that really got me into thrifting in
vintage and and yeah, just try and close that that
I wouldn't usually try. So a lot of a lot
of drifting and a lot of music.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
But other than that, yeah, hey.
