Send us a text

Matilda Gratte is one of my unforgettable former students from Sweden.  She tours with Zara Larson and Ed Sheeran as a back ground singer and is an emerging singer/songwriter herself.

In this episode, we talk about writing great melodies over common chords, adding tensions to those chords, touring with artists,  and being true to yourself as an artist.

She is an amazing artist.
