You'Re listening to how to be a better human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy, and today we are going to be talking about finding your voice by any means necessary with a singer and a musician who has performed on some of the world's largest stages.
She has some incredible lessons for everyone, regardless of whether you are a musician or not.
And trust me, I am not a musician.
Anyone who has heard me sing has never asked for an encore.
They've asked for whatever the opposite of an encore is.
But Greta Morgan does not have that problem.
Greta Morgan has an amazing voice, and she plays in one of my favorite bands, Vampire Weekend.
And you might also know her from her band, Springtime, Carnivore or Gold Motel.
When each day is over, I wish that you were closer then you are right now.
Safe in LA.
Greta is someone whose work I really admire, whether it is her music or her writing or even just the way she thinks about creativity in life.
I love the way how even after finding so much success, Greta has really managed to hold on to that joy and optimism in her art.
And thats even more impressive to me right now because Greta has recently experienced a pretty dramatic change to her instrument, her vocal cords.
And that change has forced her to rediscover her own voice and in the process, to rethink what it means to make music.
So on Todays episode, were going to talk more about how Greta got her start in music and what it has meant for her to lose her voice and then have to find it again.
And were also going to talk about how we can all turn to art and creativity when life deals us an unexpected blow.
But first, were going to take a quick break.
Well be right back.
