In this episode, I sit down with up-and-coming artist Kissimjau, and I was blown away by her honesty, strength, and raw talent. From growing up in Lillehammer to finding her voice through drum and bass, Kissi shares how music became her safe space and how she’s stayed true to herself despite the challenges of the industry. Hearing her talk about turning pain into power and learning to protect her energy reminded me why I started this podcast—to connect with artists who create from the heart without overthinking.
