Unstoppable Singer-Songwriter Anya Marina

Products of the Mind: A Conversation About the Intersection of Business + Creativity

Welcome to Episode 47 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with singer-songwriter Anya Marina.

We’ll hear how writing songs in middle school ultimately led to hosting radio shows and hearing her songs on hit shows like Grey’s Anatomy. Anya fills us in on singing for different bands, smoking cloves outside the coffee shop, and a little bit about the attempt to write a memoir. Although the memoir may not have worked out, the music career did.

Anya is very open about the ups and downs of her life and the practical realities of surviving as a well-known but non-superstar artist. How does she go from project to project, and what’s next for this talented musician?

Bonus: stick around for the end to enjoy a song from Anya’s latest album, Paper Plane: “Ordinary Dude.”

This and so much more with Anya Marina.
