In this inspiring episode of the JDS Podcast, host Joshua Agbontaen sits down with Clementine Moss — founding drummer of Zepparella, singer-songwriter, author, spiritual counselor, and lifelong meditator.For decades, Clementine has lived in two seemingly different worlds: the intensity of rock-and-roll performance and the stillness of contemplative spiritual practice. Through her memoir, From Bonham to Buddha and Back: The Slow Enlightenment of the Hard Rock Drummer, she reveals how music, meditation, heartbreak, ego, creativity, and healing are all part of the same journey.Drawing from over 30 years of Vipassana meditation, her work in spiritual counseling, and her career as a professional musician, Clementine offers profound insights into consciousness, self-discovery, creativity, and what it truly means to live with authenticity.In this episode, we discuss:* The connection between music and spirituality* Lessons from life as a professional drummer* Finding stillness in a noisy world* Ego, competition, and personal growth* Meditation and contemplative practice* Creativity as a spiritual path* Healing through music and self-awareness* The stories behind From Bonham to Buddha and Back* Love, loss, and transformation* What enlightenment really meansThis is a powerful conversation about art, consciousness, purpose, and the lifelong journey toward inner freedom.
