My first episode with a guest! This episode is with the talented Sydney pop singer-songwriter, Sammi Constantine. We go into the depths of one of her lowest points in childhood; where she was in hospital for an eating disorder thinking she wasn't going to live, to then discovering songwriting and taking singing lessons. We also dive deep into her latest singles "Wannabe" and "Dopamine" and discuss her inspiration behind them, including getting off anti-depressants and becoming more herself. We also discuss a lot of things to do with being a musician in today's society, including topics to do with our value as an artist, the weird obsession with age, and all things to do with money.
