#213 Chloe Marks - Cheaper than Therapy Telling it Like It Is

In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy and Rossy sit down with Sydney-based artist Chloe Marks for one of the most honest and emotionally open conversations we’ve had on the podcast.Fresh off the release of her powerful new single “Cheaper Than Therapy”, Chloe unpacks the line that instantly stops you in your tracks — “When I get ......, I talk to God” — and explains how songwriting has become a conduit for truth, catharsis, and survival in an industry that often asks artists to give everything without showing the cost.🎵 Songwriting as Survival, Not StrategyChloe speaks candidly about writing songs that don’t aim to be “radio safe” or algorithm-friendly, but emotionally necessary. Her music lives in the uncomfortable corners — faith, doubt, vulnerability, self-medication, and honesty — and she explains why pulling back the filter is sometimes the only way to move forward.The conversation explores how authentic storytelling can feel both liberating and risky, especially for emerging artists navigating visibility, judgment, and expectation in a hyper-connected digital world.❤️ Artist Welfare: The Conversations We Don’t Have EnoughA central theme of this episode is artist welfare — mental health, emotional labour, burnout, and the pressure to constantly “be on.”Chloe shares her lived experience of:The emotional toll of releasing deeply personal musicNavigating validation, criticism, and the noise of social mediaThe expectation for artists to self-manage everything: music, branding, promotion, touring, and mental resilienceThe hosts also reflect on how the industry has evolved — from pub gigs and word-of-mouth to streams, metrics, and constant comparison — and question whether the system truly supports artists beyond content creation.Artist LinksWebsite - https://www.chloemarksmusic.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chloemarksmusic Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/chloemarksmusic Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/05bxQJG4B70x2mPla4je8x YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@chloemarksmusic/featured Copyright Disclaimer:"The Unfiltered & Undiscovered Podcast features interviews and showcases with music artists, along with our Mystery Song Deep Dive segment, which is intended solely for educational and entertainment purposes.
