My Music Episode 586 - Carolyn

Graham is joined by the wonderfully talented indie-pop artist Carolyn for a conversation that flows as easily as her dreamlike songs.From childhood memories of discovering The Carpenters to writing her first “duck song” at a school trip, Carolyn opens up about her creative journey and the joy of weaving everyday moments into music. She shares how growing up with a musician father influenced her path, why strings and outdoor recording sessions make her tracks shimmer, and how she blends a love of storytelling with bedroom-pop soundscapes.Along the way, Graham and Carolyn chat about festivals, sausage dogs, recording in sheds and gardens, and even the marketing quirks of working for a paint company. Expect laughter, honesty, and some surprising tangents (yes, including what celebrity "watching paint dry" might look like!).Carolyn also talks about her new EP, future collaborations (SZA, are you listening? 👀), and the balance of creating music for love while holding down a day job.👉 Tune in for an uplifting, warm-hearted episode that celebrates creativity, curiosity, and the beauty of music you can work to, dream to, or lose yourself in.
