Technically speaking, safe jobs are a myth. We’ll let you ponder that one as we introduce Sherry-Lynn Lee, an LA-based musician at heart who spent years expressing her creativity through her data science job in Silicon Valley before switching gears and becoming a full-time songwriter and music producer. Sherry-Lynn tells us what it was like growing up on the tropical island of Mauritius in an Asian household and how that impacted her musical journey. She also shares some wise and practical advice on how to successfully leave your “safety” job and things she has done to take creative control in her own life. Don’t forget to check out the Nuances Podcast, which she produces and co-hosts, as well as her musical duo, 23rd Hour, and her solo work!
