ABIR (Women of Atlantic)
February 26, 2020 05:00 - 23 minutes - 21.7 MBFor a while, ABIR’s songwriting didn’t quite match her reality.

And so sometimes when you're down the rabbit hole, you can cross over.” This sort of honest and enlightened take on the music world sets the tone for the remainder of a lively conversation, which stretches from the late-night cr...
Matt Maeson
November 28, 2018 08:00 - 16 minutes - 14.9 MBPrior to landing at Neon Gold and Atlantic Records, Matt Maeson honed his skills on some daunting stages.
