The Long Distance Love Bombs Podcast 215: Mia Dyson - How does a near-death experience affect creativity?
Mia Dyson is a multiple ARIA-nominated and award-winning artist from Melbourne. Her powerful grit, gravel voice, and guitar-playing prowess have earned her a spot among the top 25 Australian guitarists of all time. She's released six critically acclaimed albums and toured the world with the likes of Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, and Eric Clapton.
Just a brief heads up: this conversation delves into the philosophical and existential aspects of life, death, and the pursuit of meaning. We also cover Mia Dyson's career as a musician, her near-death experience during an earthquake, and the impact of that experience on her outlook on life, her shift in ambition, pursuit of success, the nature of purpose, and the significance of relationships. Oh, and Mia shares her insights on the creative process, being free from external validation, and the joy of following the muse. It's a big chat!
Mia also discusses her new album 'Tender Heart' and the creative process behind it, sharing insights about embracing uncertainty, separating the art from the artist, and the impact of her music on listeners.
