EPISODE WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY julian martlew 

On the show this time, it’s the whip-smart emotional storytelling of Indonesian singer-songwriter NIKI.

NIKI is Nicole Zefanya, born in Jakarta Indonesia, now based in the USA. She started making music pretty young, teaching herself to play guitar at the age of 9. She had a pretty happening YouTube channel going, playing her own songs from home, and then she won a contest at the age of 15 — unbelievably — to open for Taylor Swift for the RED tour in Jakarta. She moved to the states to go to college at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. She connected with the management company and record label 88rising, who would release her first singles. Her latest album is called Buzz and it is available on 88rising.

Recorded June 27, 2024.
