Last week I promised a deep dive into the process of creating music. To be more specific, recording music. Recording artist and songwriter, Drea, is back with me to do just that.
In the next fifteen minutes, you’ll hear about the recording of her last album, No Vacancy and how the process of recording her new music, including her latest release Hometown, is different. Part of it is that she’s in a different headspace, part of it is that she’s in more control of how she’s recording, and today she’s sharing that process with us.
She talks about what happened in college, and beyond, that shattered her confidence as a singer and as a performer, and how she’s getting that confidence back.
And she explains how accepting her deep love for music, and eventually committing to her music and dropping the extraneous stuff, and yes…that included a job, is affecting her career in the most positive ways. It’s all about taking that leap!

Back in episode 22, today’s guest, recording artist and songwriter, Drea, opened up to me about her experience as a victim of sexual assault. Today I’m checking back in with Drea in what is probably one of the most empowering episodes I will ever record.
In this episode, Drea talks about reclaiming ownership of her body, and who she is, through movement. And, she tells us how you can get in on this, too.
We talk about the affect the assault has had on her art, and how music has helped her to fully process what happened. Which brings me to her latest single, Hometown, and the music she’s writing and recording currently. There’s definitely been a shift in her creative process, and we touch on it in this episode, and take a deep dive into in the next episode.
And, stick around because Drea treats us to an absolutely beautiful performance of Hometown at the end of the show.
Alright, let’s get to it. Here is my chat with the lovely and soulful, Drea.

This episode of Her Process is for all of you artists out there for whom your art is not your day job. Maybe you’re waiting tables, personal training, substitute teaching…let’s just say your “fallback” job has become your main source of income.
I’m welcoming back singer/songwriter Katie Ferrara. If you haven't heard Katie's episode where we talk a lot about busking, it's episode 19.
Today’s focus is on how she’s made her music her full time gig. And the info, stories, and advice she shares in this episode could easily be utilized by illustrators, actors, writers, dancers…you name it. It’s for anyone who’s ready to take that leap.
