We're back! On this episode of You Had to Be There, I sit down with Leah Lavigne of Brooklyn indie-rock band OK Cowgirl to talk about building a music career on her own terms, finding community in New York’s indie-rock scene, and turning life’s messiest moments into art.

From trading classical piano for electric guitar to navigating burnout, heartbreak, and the realities of pursuing music while working a day job, Leah opens up about the experiences behind OK Cowgirl’s latest album, Rhinestone Cowgirl. We also get into the power of finding your people, the complicated experience of growing up biracial, and why getting more specific with your art can be the key to connecting with others.

Plus, we talk about the women who shaped her, including her incredible 90-year-old grandmother, and why turning 30 might not be the existential crisis we make it out to be.

If you’ve ever felt caught between the life you imagined and the life you’re building, this one’s for you.
