My name is Virginie, a French founder of the indie music platform BETTER music.
This podcast has been a long time coming. Now that I’m here, I’m creating a space for real conversations—about life, struggles, health, and of course, music.
This is where we show up as we are, speak honestly, and grow through it all.
I’m not here to be perfect. I’m here to evolve—and to bring you along with me.
Thank you for listening.

We talk about taking a break from releasing music, producing for other artists, starting a band, and finding your own way in an industry that can feel increasingly driven by social media, streams and virality.
Skyler also opens up about mental health, self-doubt, low self-esteem and the pressure to keep creating and putting yourself out there.
A honest conversation about music, creativity, mental health and staying true to yourself.
