Welcome to Episode 9 of Hot Goss at the Bifrost, where the goss is hot, the vibes are dialed in, and the mix is always just a little too loud. 🎧

Today I’m joined by Verskotzi — an insanely talented LA-based artist and producer, originally from Minnesota, who’s been making waves in the indie and pop worlds for the past decade. With multiple albums, endless co-writes, and an unmistakable sound, Verskotzi brings a unique perspective to the balance between being an artist and a full-time producer.

We talk about creativity, burnout, inspiration, and what it really takes to stay connected to your art while managing the daily grind of making music for a living. It’s part therapy session, part creative masterclass, and part goofy hang between two producers who just get it.
