Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.Today’s guest is a singer, songwriter, performer, and artist whose career has constantly evolved across genres and stages. From theater productions, to General Luna, to her solo work that blends rock, jazz, and classical influences, she’s built a career defined by reinvention and creative freedom. And as a fellow musician, I feel like there’s a lot we can get into about artistry, performance, songwriting, and surviving different eras of the industry.Fangirls and fanboys, Nicole Asensio.00:00 Preview00:51 Intro02:07 Growing “New Skin”06:01 Scariest Stage08:11 Overthinking10:01 Music Eras13:13 A performance that went wrong 15:44 Courage19:23 Fangirling Over21:09 Songwriting23:19 General Luna25:26 Misconceptions26:55 Emulating Artists29:49 Final Words
