This week on the Women In podcast we have Annie, the musician. Annie DiRusso is an indie rock artist based in Nashville and New York. Combining the unique sounds of both cities, Annie creates an auditory experience that you’re sure to remember.

But if you know about Annie DiRusso, you probably know her through Tik Tok. After music venues closed this past March, Annie started posting at home live performances of her most popular songs on the app, garnering new fans and listeners. In these videos her relatable and gut wrenching lyricism and her punchy vocals hit you the most. For fans wondering, Annie is working on her debut album, which is set to be released in 2021.

I’m so glad that Annie agreed to speak with me about all things music, Taylor Swift, and the ridiculous double standards for women in rock.

Just a warning: throughout the episode, you’ll hear a cat meowing. That’s Cozy, and she really wanted to join in on the conversation.
