Life is funny sometimes. Every one of us have massive amounts of dreams that we want to achieve and go after in life, but so many of them go by the wayside for one reason or another. Whether it is a worry about not being good enough, a fear of what others might say and think as you strive to your dream, or anything else, we need inspiration to keep going.

This artist not only struggled through forgiving herself for the things in her past that were holding her back, but the work to do that allowed her to find her sound, discover her passion for heavy music once again, and is a story we can all get behind.

Katerina Nicole joins the Chord Progression Podcast with her newest EP, Serene in Violet Oceans, as her return to the heavy music she has always loved, available now. Join us as we dive deep into:

• Karetina's journey to discovery her sound and how she wants to express herself in music, starting in a pop and EDM world, to the world of heavy music from her time as a kid.
• How writing and creating "Serene in Violent Oceans" taught her to forgive herself to not be reserved by the past and embrace attacking her dreams head on.
• Learning how to write more metaphorically to create a more emotionally connected song experience for the listener.
