12. B4B ft. Julzzz: Live, Laugh, Love- Being Delusional
This episode is featuring the amazing Julzzz, a singer who recently moved to Canada from Brazil. Julzzz is not only insanely talented but also hilarious and we had a blast diving into their songwriting process and dissecting the meanings behind some of their songs. While doing this we talk about how as humans we naturally make up stories about people in our heads and just feed into our own delusions. This was such a fun conversation and I highly encourage you to follow along on Julzzz's music journey.
