SheHH Podcast: Interviews with Women in Christian/Gospel Music Worldwide

The SheHH podcast is a podcast series all about Christian women in the front and behind the scenes of Christian music all over the world. The name is a play on the phrase CHH, which stands for Christian Hip Hop, but SheHH is for all genres (and all women!) within Christian music.

Welcome to Series two, which is themed the Gritty Truths. We're speaking to amazing women and learning more about the realities of being called into music ministry, especially as a woman.

In our first in-person, face-to-face interview ever, we speak to UK Gospel RnB singer-songwriter Offs. She shares how she thought she started her music career 'too late', about her day job as a scientist working to cure cancer and what it is like being a part of independent label and music collective Imprint Sound.
