Noelle Scaggs (Fitz and The Tantrums): Staying Healthy on Tour and Music Business
This week, we sat down with Noelle Scaggs, the co-lead singer of Fitz and The Tantrums. I had the pleasure of seeing Noelle sing a few weeks ago at Red Rocks and the whole performance was absolutely electrifying. In this conversation, we spoke about the realities of making money in the music industry, staying healthy and thriving on tour, the intricacies of her songwriting process, and why pop music is here to stay. Noelle just released a solo track called 'Great For You' featuring BRÅVES which you need to check out. The link for that song will be in the podcast description. Thank you for listening, and we hope you come away from this conversation with a new insight into the world of music.

This week ,we sat down with FINNEAS, a producer and songwriter who is now making waves as a solo artist. He’s made smash hits with Khalid, Tori Kelly, Wafia, and of course his sister, Billie Eilish.
