About this episode

Cayley Spivey discusses their new album 'Carson' and the personal stories behind it, including their journey as a non-binary artist.

On this episode we are joined by one of the most compelling voices in indie rock/pop, Cayley Spivey, as we dive deep into the stories behind their new album, "Carson." We kick things off by talking about the viral explosion of their latest TikTok posts, which have racked up millions of views and introduced their music to an entirely new audience. From there, we dive into the making of their new LP, including the deeply personal story behind the album's title and how it connects to their identity as a non-binary artist. We also talk about: Growing up on '90s rock and how those influences shaped the sound of Carson. What they expected from Los Angeles before moving there—and what turned out to be completely true (and completely false). How an unexpected touring opportunity changed the course of their life. Why they chose to fund the album through Kickstarter instead of signing with a label. The biggest lessons they've learned after more than a decade in the music business. It's an honest, insightful conversation about creativity, authenticity, identity, and finding your own path as an artist.
