Welcome to the very first episode of our bonus podcast, GRRRLFriends! We have so many friends in the music industry, friends who just adore music like us, that we wanted to talk to them about their music listening habits, how they create music, and more! 

It's the perfect introduction to our friend, Michael Martinez. A pop singer-songwriter about to release his debut single, "freedom within" on June 17th, Michael talks to us about his journey to finding his community, himself, and the power he took back for himself. A gorgeous interview that's perfect for any new artist who feels lonely or like they are struggling, Michael's words really hit home for us. 

You can pre-save "freedom within" here and go support Michael on all social media platforms right now! 

You can also find the video version of Michael's episode on our YouTube channel, right now!
