ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Welcome back to Honing In and to my interview with Melissa Kaitlyn Carter.
Today's episode features brand new theme music, created by Melissa herself!!!
Melissa Kaitlyn Carter is a Brooklyn-based musician, performer, and creative facilitator. She is the frontwoman of the indie-folk project Hattie, described as “achingly honest and full of heart.” As a performer, Melissa has worked across the United States with artists including Mary Zimmerman and The Bengsons, and in theaters such as Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Z Space, Joe Goode Studio, and The Huntington Theater. She has been an artist-in-residence at The Sable Project and Paul Dresher Ensemble Artist Residency. She has received funding from The Awesome Foundation and Musicians Foundation, and was a Music/Sound Artist Fellow for the New York Foundation for the Arts.
She is the owner and operator of Making Audio Magic, where she teaches songwriting, music production, and DIY-At-Home Recording. When she's OOO, she aims to spend her time practicing yoga, learning about herbs, reading tarot, and bathing in nature. Learn more about Melissa’s musical projects: Hattie & Rosalind.
Here are some of the things Melissa and I discuss:
- How our early creative training influenced our artistic journeys
- Melissa teaches Kate different audio components in her favorite songs (this was so fun!)
- Learning new things about yourself through making art
- Melissa’s act of generational healing through her musical project, Hattie
- The magic that happens when we trust our relationship to creativity
