Natasha Johanna
Wonderful musician and songwriter Natasha Johanna joins Sean on Episode 16 to talk about her creative process and Sean talks a lot about death! Yay for death! Yay for Brisbane Goths.
Sean begins the show with a piece that was especially written for Cafe Philosophique De La Mort, a series of events held in November at the Alex Theatre, specially curated to break through the taboo surrounding conversations around death and dying. A better relationship with dying leads to a better relationship with life.
Sean talks to Natasha Johanna about her creative process, the making of her new ep and the release of her wonderful new summer jam single Belmont Park. You can also listen to Natasha's earlier work here.
