My guest this week is singer-songwriter Dodie. She started out by uploading original songs and covers to YouTube back in 2007, and now she's got almost 2 million YouTube subscribers, 3 EPs, and 1 full-length album. On this episode, we talk about creating a career using YouTube, the best recording session of Dodie’s life, and how a music career starting from YouTube varies compared to a more traditional route. We also dive into talking about constantly growing as an artist, and how to defy expectations, even when people just want you to play your hits.
