In this episode, Neil speaks with Jason, a.k.a. Sure Doc, a musical artist from Washington Heights, New York. They discuss taking music lessons at a young age, the catharsis of writing songs about past loves, the origin of Jason's artist name, the often-overlooked complexity and formerly taboo reputation of Bachata music, transforming tragedies into celebrations through music, performing live versus for TikTok, and finding solace in sadness despite its oceanic mystery. They explore which song most reminds Jason of home and which song he's found the most emotional to perform.
