Lea G: Musician

2022-07-1801:26:49

In this week's episode Alex spoke with London based musician Lea G (@lea_g_music) and do NOT include the "h" folks! These two gals sat and discussed the music industry, of course bringing up being a woman in the industry and bringing up topics that hopefully spark a conversation to heal this broken industry. In the second half Lea bravely goes where no person should have ever gone.... Into the lyrics of high school Alex's manila folder that she wrote. Join us in a cocktail as we laugh, cry (okay that one is just Alex from embarrassment) and roll our eyes at men. 
In this week's episode Alex spoke with music journalist, Sophie Walker over a nice Jack Daniel's cooler. Discussing how Sophie got into music journalism, the great perks to the job, and how Sophie refuses to take the spotlight (no matter how deserving she is of it!)
In this week's episode Alex sat down with Amy, the starter of the protest movement in London called "Reclaim the Streets". Alex and Amy discuss women's safety, exchange stories, and talk about relationships over a nice DaquiriRose.
