It's my pleasure to interview the fabulous Courtney Swain, lead singer and keyboardist for Bent Knee. I have known Courtney since she was a freshman at Berklee College of Music, and even as a student, she was most impressive! She is a stellar vocalist, pianist, composer and arrranger, an accomplished and creative artist, and a thoughtful and intelligent person. In this interview, she talks candidly about her time at Berklee as well as the success she has had with Bent Knee. Those who have read my blogs or listened to my old podcast "Frequencies" know that I am not the biggest fan of bands or artists getting signed, but Bent Knee were smart about it and got an amazing deal, which she talks about a bit!

Courtney has a solo EP coming out in November, called "Growing Pains." You can preorder it at:
