Billie Marten

Billie Marten joins me over Skype, talking about having to decide her future at 15, growing up alongside her songs, being self-employed and being aware of what that means, how she needed lockdown for her health, her stress-free studio environment, spending more time listening to music than making it, making her nest over the last year, the tectonic manipulation of the music industry, and MUCH MORE... Her new album Flora Fauna is out now.
