PRIORITIZINGCONNECTION,CARE,ANDCREATIVITYWITHSINGER-SONGWRITERDANAWILLIAMS
This week I spoke to singer-songwriter Dana Williams about her career in music, how studying poetry at Sarah Lawrence informed her songwriting, and her new holiday album. Raised on singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, she brings a jazzy nonchalance to her delivery while drawing big emotion from the subtlest vocal movement. Dana's music was featured in the Oscar-winning film Whiplash and she has collaborated with artists like Freddie Gibbs, Boogie, and Rejjie Snow. We covered her habits and routines, navigating grief and change, prioritizing community, what she's been learning lately, how gentleness helps her creatively, what she's wanting to prioritize, how she learns through creative collaboration, and more.
