Stephanie Mathias talks about always reaching for your goals

Singer-songwriter, violinist, and pianist Stephanie Mathias has a lot to be happy about—she recently released a new single, “It's My Thing,” along with an amazing music video. The video has an interesting story involving the production process and some late changes that had to be made. Stephanie also talks about her musical family, which includes her husband and their daughter. Though the pandemic has caused a lot of her plans to be sidelined, she's continuing her art, putting out a new music video for Mother's Day.

Following this enjoy three songs from Stephanie, “Fragile” “My Thing,” and “Sweet Baby.”

Greetings from Sweden

For the last show of 2019, I speak to Swedish musician Yajna. Her music touches on a dark part of her life and her goal to rise from it and move forward. Yajna talks about these experiences and how the music helped her. But she has much more to share! Prior to working in music, she was active in the action sports scene and remains so today. She also has a documentary film making its way around the indie film festival circuit and a book in the works.

Following this interview, enjoy her song, “You Are Beautiful,” one of a trilogy of songs that she has released.


 

Red Tan on loss, perseverance, and a new career in music

Red Tan's music career began in the Philippines and has taken her to the U.S. and London, building her electronic/pop style to what it is today. Her late husband convinced her that she had what it took to make it in the music industry, starting with a competition in Los Angeles in which she won several award.

She recently released a new song called “Don't You Dare,” which tells the tale we've all heard time and again—you aren't good enough. Red turns this negativity on its head, thanking detractors for giving her the drive to succeed.

Following this, I give you two songs from Red Tan, "Don't You Dare" and "Don't Let Go."
