Today, karaoke fiend turned mild mannered podcast host Russ Stone chats with the brilliant multi-genre musician, Renée Asteria.

The pop/world-fusion/jazz/reggae artist, with roots in Bolivia and the Netherlands, has an expansive catalogue of top charting singles, internationally recognized albums, and award winning tunes. We're not joking; Renée's discography has so many songs, we lost count. She also writes music in several different languages, often creating several versions of the same song.

So, Renée is really cool.

A large part of her process is consistency, "dusting off cobwebs," and experimenting. Creativity is something to be nurtured: "Whatever it is, write a page; it doesn't matter what you write!" Usually based out of California, Renée calls in from France to talk with Russ about her eclectic and unique processes, new instruments, deciding when something is "done enough," and French rap.

Plus, Russ has fully lost track of time! What day is it?

To keep up with Renée and her many projects, visit her website and follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
