Listen First

By: Phoebe Hunt
  • Summary

  • In her podcast Listen First, artist Phoebe Hunt invites her listeners into the process of songwriting by sharing the intimate voice memo from her songwriting 'dates' with friends and peers. She says: "I am an introverted extrovert and this time of isolation has taught me that I viscerally need human connection and authentic collaboration in order to continue as an artist in the world. This podcast has allowed me to create with some of my favorite artists and friends, and I hope that our perspective on the process of songwriting is helpful to anyone who hears it." Listen as Phoebe and her collaborators share a conversation about the mindset that is revealed as they enter the space of co-creation. Hunt explains that this "synergy" comes after hours of sitting, deeply listening to one another, and building the Trust necessary for the "writing qui" to flow. She says "This podcast features the moments where that level of Trust has been attained. The songs that have come to life are expressions of sacred conversation which honor our connection, and help us to process life as it unfolds."
