  • Creating Noise With Lauren Christy

    Lauren Christy’s story is one of resilience and re-invention and this episode shows us the journey of one of pop music’s most impressive careers.

    We go deep on her early London years, the Atlantic Records implosion that left her in debt at 20, and the hard reset that carried her to Mercury, late-night TV, and a Golden Globe–nominated single. Then the twist: a label’s priorities wipe out her radio moment, forcing a choice that would change the sound of the 2000s.

    Lauren explains how she read the room and built The Matrix with Graham Edwards and Scott Spock—a writer-producer collective modeled on the approach of Cheiron; Max Martins hit making machine. Inside those sessions came earworm-first craft, bass-led toplines, and a new lane for a 16-year-old artist named Avril Lavigne. The result: Complicated, Sk8er Boi, and a sustained run at number one that redefined pop-rock. We unpack the process, the pressure, and what it meant to be among the first women ever nominated for Producer of the Year for producing other artists.

    There’s more than career lore here. Lauren talks about faith as a daily practice that steadied her through industry politics and redirected her toward a life she actually wanted—family, mentoring, and meaningful work without constant travel.

    We get into practical safety rules for sessions, why women remain underrepresented in production, and the path forward: learn a DAW, produce your own demos, protect your time, and build teams that let songs breathe. She also shares updates on SkyChristy, her daughters’ duo, and recent projects spanning pop, rock, and classical crossover.

  • Creating Noise with Valerie June
    Nov 18 2025

    Send us a text

    We sit down with Grammy-nominated artist, songwriter, and poet Valerie June to explore how everyday life becomes a creative channel— Valerie traces her roots to Tennessee and a childhood surrounded by music. We talk about her father’s involvement as a promoter of performers like Prince, Jojo and Jodeci. That early vantage point meets a deep well of influence—Appalachian folk, gospel, blues, dream soul, and how her music draws from artist’s as diverse as Curtis Mayfield, Tracy Chapman and Leonard Cohen.

    She shares how her ideas and melodies show up unannounced, how she protects the solitude of writing before inviting collaborators to add their contribution in the studio, and how her three-breath meditative reset keeps her centered. We listen to and talk about a song from her newest album, Owls, Omens and Oracles. The song “Endless Tree,” is a radiant experience that asks whether we can be free and still disagree, and we also unpack the quiet power of opening doors as a Black woman in Americana without having to explain it at every turn.

    Style becomes another instrument in this conversation: Bowie-inspired silhouettes, thrift-store treasures, and street-stall finds that build a living mood board around her music. Valerie describes the slow climb from fly-on-the-wall sessions with Dan Auerbach to co-producing with conviction, and she opens up about poetry arriving after loss, spoken lines in her poetry that later find their way into her songs. Beyond the stage, she is a mentor and brings mindfulness into classrooms, helping students turn attention into art and courage into performance.

    Listen to hear about her songwriting secrets, stay for the practices you can use today—portable meditation, patient craft, and the reminder that creativity thrives when we listen and engage. If this conversation moves you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find these stories.
