What music is for | Wallis Bird

Sobre este episodio

<p>Irish musician and songwriter Wallis Bird received her first guitar at six months old and has been chasing music ever since.

Their conversation explores her lifelong pull toward music, the stories hidden inside her songs, and how creativity can heal.
