Series 1 - Being Independent delves into what it means to be an indie artist, from writing/composing and making an album right through to getting up on stage. I've spoken to 9 independent musical acts about their journey, how they got to where they are now and much more...

In episode 6, I spoke with Estyr and Danielle from Canadian chamber pop/alt-folk band (or collective as they prefer) Tiger Balme. We talk about their slow but steady collaborative writing process, the issues of mic-ing up a vibraphone and the difficult decision not to play at Tallinn Music Week amongst other things.
