Coffee with the Dog EP314 - Taydem Shoesmith

Taydem Shoesmith is a young musician who has loved music since childhood. The fact that her father sang to her every night kindled her interest in singing. During her first year of high school, she found comfort in creating music. Initially, she feared sharing her music with others because she feared being judged for her thoughts and emotions. But as time passed, she learned that others shared her sentiments and decided she should continue sharing her works.  Her musical style ranges from singer-songwriter to alternative to pop. Recently, she released the single “Are You Clapping?,” which is about loving oneself and not allowing others to alter who you are or what you want to be. Michael Jackson, Rascal Flatts, Billie Holiday, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, among others, are her primary musical influences.  In addition to her enthusiasm for music, she has a strong interest in acting. In 2020, she made her acting debut when she was cast in the short film “In the Dark.” She has played the lead role in many films and composed music for films, including the theme song for a short series. This phrase sums precisely how she thinks about music: “Music is my inhaler when life makes it impossible to breathe.” Check out her song “Are You Clapping?”  https://open.spotify.com/artist/62pCkOOGOev4Ce4aN5ZanF
