Meet Your Host
I’m so excited to have you on AMPEDCast! Thank you for taking the time to share your story and energy with our community. This space is all about authentic conversation — no pressure, no performance, just real connection and great vibes.
Here’s what to expect:
- We’ll start with a few minutes of casual chat to get comfortable before recording.
- The conversation will flow naturally — think less interview, more “two artists hanging out and talking music.”
- Feel free to be open, share stories, and let your passion shine. My job is to make sure you sound amazing and feel supported every step of the way.
This is your moment to celebrate who you are, what you create, and how you’re shaping the music scene.
Can’t wait to dive in with you!
