S04E10: Carla Patullo — Storytelling Through Music


Listen Later

Carla Patullo always knew she wanted to make music. Her

parents insisted that if this was the path she wanted to
pursue, she needed to go to school, which is how Carla found
herself at Berklee College of Music in Boston,
Massachusetts, one of two women in the music program.

Beyond earning a degree, Carla left Berklee with

something else: a passion for new and unique music that she
hadn’t been exposed to growing up but it was film scoring
that called to her and after a few years of writing music
and touring with her band White Widow, she began work in the
film industry, scoring everything from documentaries to
horror films.

We recently spoke with Carla about her creative process,

the challenges of being an openly gay woman working in a
largely male industry, and the balance of creating
commercial work to fund the important work.
