Episode 3 – Candi Underwood

Candi Underwood is a Brighton-based ADHD vocal coach, singer, screamer and choir leader. She is the Founder and Director of City of Stars, an intermediate musical theatre choir across Brighton, Hove & Worthing. Candi shares the cadence of her days as an ADHD business owner: the intense swings between structure and chaos. She shares how she navigates the fierce swirl of running multiple businesses and describes the careful preparation she undertakes to do her job every day, as someone who pours energy into supporting others and lifting them up. She talks about the sweetness in her day - her dog Prince, her night-time reading routine, the feeling of making on impact on someone else's day. She  ponders whether having a job in music, the thing she loves most, is a beautiful thing or a terrible thing. This episode is, at times, very loud and, at other times, very quiet. It is a patchwork of Candi's vibrant world: screaming, singing, community, chihuahuas, seated gigs, big breakthroughs and Below Deck.Featured track: consume by fakeyourdeath (Candi's band) Follow Candi on instagram @candiunderwoodvocalcoachBook vocal coaching with Candi www.candiunderwood.co.ukJoin City of Stars Choir or watch them perform www.cityofstarschoir.co.ukFollow City of Stars @cityofstarschoirListen to fakeyourdeath www.fakeyourdeathband.bandcamp.comOther People's Days is created and produced by Sarah Brand, an art-director, writer and content specialist. Sound Design is by Megan Tuck. Original music is by Leo Aram Downs. Other People's Days is a podcast where we talk about our daily lives with honesty, nuance and reverence, in the hope that we can find something of ourselves in other people’s days.With a focus on the neurodivergent community, Other People’s Days explores what days really feel like: what is difficult, what is comforting, and what is beautiful.otherpeoplesdays.com
