S17 E7: IDYL

In 1987, the US Army War College coined the acronym of VUCA in 1987 to describe a world that was expected to become more difficult to navigate as the end of the Cold War started to become a reality – VUCA stands for volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Aside from it being kinda ironic, with what’s happening right now, that the US Army coined this acronym, it’s struck me that musicians have been working in an industry that has breathed this sort of uncertainty and volatility, whilst those in paid employment are now much more exposed to it after decades of living a much more three stage life of study, work, retire. So, it’s always a joy and an education for me to meet younger musicians and chat about their life and music and how they are navigating through everything, so I’ll just get on with it and invite you to listen to this brilliant conversation with Idyl, an amazing artist who recently released her first single Illusion in November. https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.com I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.
