  • 9. Lily Journot - Finding your artistic voice, mental health & creativity
    Aug 3 2023

    Lily is a harpist originally from Switzerland but has been living in the Netherlands for 8 years. We met when we were studying together in our Master programmes and we sat down to record this episode where we talk about perfectionism, leaving the classical world, finding her own artistic voice and the ups and downs of the creative process. I'm so lucky to call Lily a very close friend, someone who's been a massive source of support and inspiration for me in my own process, so sitting down to record this episode was doubly special!

  • 7. Ella Jarman-Pinto - Anti-oppression, composing, rejecting excellence
    Jul 14 2023

    Ella Jarman-Pinto is a critically acclaimed composer, described in 2020 as ‘one of the UK’s most exciting music-makers’ by Classic FM and recognised by the Women of the Year Lunch 2021. 


    Ella’s focus is on positive-change storytelling, collaborating with artists who reject the phrase ‘this is how things are done here’. We had an absolute blast chatting together, we laughed SO much and it was such a joy to talk to her.

  • 6. Djuwa Mroivili - storytelling, claiming back time, performing as a dominatrix
    Jul 7 2023

    Djuwa Mroivili is a Dutch pianist and performer from Amsterdam who poses on stage as a vulnerable storyteller, and uses music, words and body, among other things to tell her stories. Although she is trained as a classical pianist, she does not shy away from being critical of the classical music tradition and the role of (educational) institutes in it. You're in for a treat with this episode as we talk about telling stories, hair, fashion, claiming back time and even the time that Djuwa performed as a dominatrix in one of her concerts. There's a little bit of everything here!

    Jun 8 2023

    Having originally started her career as a classical singer, Mart Blom was forced to take another direction after an unsuccessful operation on her vocal cords. Her fascination for human interaction and development led her to becoming a haptotherapist and now performance coach. We talk today about Mart's journey from singer to therapist and the work that she now does with musicians. This is full of wonderful tips about body awareness, performance anxiety and fight/flight/freeze, so helpful for everyone!
