Bright Lights sits down with Mixmag's On Rotation podcast to discuss her roots growing up in a small town, being exposed to music at an early age, the moments that led her to electronic music and how she is continuing to follow her dreams today.

For this episode, hosts Harrison and Valerie discuss how the ability for artists to create anywhere is affecting the music industry, highlighting travel, technology and collaboration.

This past October, Mixmag linked with AKG to bring six artists to Allaire Studios - a musical oasis located in Woodstock, New York - for an electronic music retreat. Isolated from the noise of the outside world and provided with a plethora of instruments, recording equipment and refined audio gear, this retreat delivered an exercise in nurturing new musical epiphanies through the spirit of collaboration. Among the artists who took part in the experience was the American singer, songwriter, DJ and producer Bright Lights.
