Interviews w/ Devendra Banhart, Hayden Pedigo and Sylvan Esso☟
Had the pleasure of publishing interviews with Devendra Banhart, Hayden Pedigo, and Sylvan Esso this month. For The Creative Independent I spoke with Devendra about humility, collaboration, and letting fear guide you. With Hayden we dug in on isolation, competition, and putting healthy pressure on yourself. Over at Reverb I spoke with Nick and Amelia about working with intention, trial and error, and the magic of "the tone quest."
