Episode 76: Navigating Creativity, Inclusion and Identity Through Music and Therapy: A Conversation with Anna Gentile
Update: 2020-05-31
Description
I spoke to an old gigging friend Anna Gentile a few days back. Anna is a songwriter, instrumentalist, and budding music therapy practitioner. Anna speaks to me about queer identity and destigmatizing trans identity in the music therapy community. We also talk about composing and approaching songwriting from different perspectives with time signatures.
Anna writes in multiple projects as "herefromhill" (solo project), "Mellowbird ( a 3piece pop/folk/jazz project), and "Rally Point" a math/ emo project. Musicians can wear many hats while having many identities, but the sum of the parts is what contributes to the whole. Listen to more about Anna's journey and their perspectives in finding themselves and helping others in this episode of Dreams Not Memes.
