This week we chinwag about Jess searching for her new apartment in LA. Afterward we chat with Valerie Morehouse, vocal coach for artists such as Sia, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, 5SOS, Brendon Urie, our very own Bowie Jane, and more.
Valerie’s journey started about twenty years ago, when she was diagnosed with debilitating nodules on her vocal cords. Having sung all her life, the idea of not being able to sing again was not an option. She devoted herself to finding out what causes nodules and how to get rid of and prevent them. Along the way, she worked with top laryngologists and speech therapists and found a passion for helping others overcome or prevent similar setbacks. She also prepares actors’ voices for stage, television, and film, including Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Tom Ellis (Lucifer), the cast of Nashville (ABC & CMT), and FOX sportscaster Joe Buck. Valerie also has her own podcast, LipRoll, which features conversations with her clients giving us an inside look at the industry.
Jess Bowen and Bowie Jane chat with Cassie Leopold and Pagan Newman from Australian Country Music Chart topping band, Darlinghurst. Cassie and Pagan talk about their musical bond, tour life and their venture into the country music scene.
Festivals trying to fill “female” quotas but insisting that just a female drummer in the band doesn’t count as female representation and instead needs to be a female lead singer? C’mon… we need representation in all areas of music!
How absolutely FABULOUS to chat with TOP Music & Entertainment Attorney, Dina LaPolt!
Her stories are soooo good! Dina chats with us about how she got into the law from performing, hanging out at the Playboy mansion, setting up her own law firm, representing Steven Tyler against Donald Trump, working heavily in Copyright reform, SONA, representing Fifth Harmony on their last album and tour with Camila Cabello, the importance of a good manager and SO MUCH MORE!
She is a wealth of knowledge, super entertaining and we just know you are going to enjoy this interview!

Well we absolutely loved hearing about Miss Dre’s musical journey! She talks about the importance of having a mentor with producing, learning Logic only to move over to Ableton, getting a great management team around you, the glamour of traveling as a DJ (haha) and incorporating her own vocals into her tracks. Any budding producers will love this episode!

She received her Bachelor of Music – Popular Music Performance from USC, and she tells us about how much that experience helped prepare her for her future in the industry!
This week we chat with Nigerian singer songwriter, Kah-Lo! She chats about moving to New York and the culture shock with that, being in so much demand for her vocal but having a year of saying “No” so she could focus on her own music, her huge tracks Fasta & Fake ID, living off massive syncs with FIFA and Old Navy, getting signed to Epic during COVID and the importance of a good entertainment lawyer!
This week we chat with bassist and songwriter, Aubrey Harris! She began playing electric bass at age 13 and sitting in on gigs with her father, a jazz drummer. When Aubrey was 16, she was awarded a full scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music where she graduated in 2017. She chats with us about doing her 10,000 hours performing at Disney World Orlando to performing with artists such as FLETCHER, Keith Urban, and Jacob Collier!
