Behind The Scene Episode 49 - Chella Negro (Chella and the Charm)

“It was like the first time I could say what I wanted to say. It was really terrifying at first, and sometimes it still is where you just have that ultimate freedom. How are you gonna use that? Are you going to say something really profound, or are you gonna talk about inner tubes and Budweiser? You can do anything you want. It’s daunting but freeing at the same time.”

Behind The Scene Episode 47 - Rob Drabkin (Singer-Songwriter)

“I think it is just a inherent joy in music. I think that’s it. It’s not easy to find a really just truly dark, depressing song with no hope laid in there whatsoever. There is just some inherent hope and joy in music. I feel like the majority of songs have a hopeful message somewhere…”
