Justin Jesso on Going Independent, Writing Emotional Music & Working With Kygo

Welcome Justin Jesso! This week, Meghan's couch is at full capacity — she's joined by her friend and talented singer-songwriter Justin Jesso, plus his two right-hand people: Julie Dawson, his head of social, and Dylan Owen, his chief of staff. Justin is best known for co-writing and singing "Stargazing" with Kygo, a gig that's taken him from a Monday writing session to Madison Square Garden and Coachella in the span of eight years. But now he's doing something bold: going fully independent and betting on himself. In this one, they get into what it actually looks like to leave a major label behind, build your own team from scratch, and take the reins on your own career. Plus, Justin shares the fan stories that make it all worth it. Julie and Dylan also pull back the curtain on what it's really like to work for an independent artist who will absolutely slide across a bathroom floor in his underwear if you ask him to. You won't want to miss it.
