Orla Gartland’s career started out as a DIY artist on Youtube and has since seen her music rise in success and synced on both the hit TV shows Normal People and Heart Stopper. Inside this episode, she shares why recording and production has become integral to her creative process, especially in the creation of her debut album, Woman On The Internet.

Over the last 5-10 years, recording and production gear has become affordable and intuitive enough that many musicians and songwriters have started integrating it into their creative process. Inside this week’s episode, Isobel is joined by one of the most exciting artists to have emerged from the UK and Ireland in recent years, Orla Gartland, and hears how she has adopted this approach herself. Orla joins us from her studio space in London where she is writing a new album.
