My Music Episode 692 - Melody Zenith

Music doesn't have to fit neatly into a genre, and neither does Melody Zenith.In this episode of MyMusic, host Graham Coath sits down with the independent artist to explore the influences, ideas and experiences behind her music. From growing up on the sounds of Kate Bush, Depeche Mode and The Cure to finding inspiration in disco, trip-hop, R&B and beyond, Melody explains why she's more interested in emotion than labels.The conversation dives into songwriting as therapy, the vulnerability of finding a melody with nothing but your own voice, and why imperfections are often where the magic happens. Melody also shares her thoughts on AI, creativity, artistic ownership, burnout, editing her own videos, building an independent career, and why sometimes the most powerful thing a musician can play is... nothing at all.Along the way, there are conversations about vinyl records, Twitch DJ sets, cats interrupting recording sessions, Bandcamp, touring, and the importance of creating music that genuinely makes people feel something.If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about creativity, songwriting and the realities of being an independent artist, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Listen now and discover Melody Zenith's music after the interview.
