In this episode, Stefani Fryzel sits down with songwriter, producer, creative educator, and emerging artist Uniq Being for an inspiring conversation about confidence, visibility, and stepping fully into your artistry. After years of working behind the scenes as a songwriter, producer, and educator, Uniq shares what led her to finally step into the spotlight and create her debut EP, The Veil.
Together, they dive into the lessons Uniq gained from attending the Hitmakers Songwriting Retreat, including the importance of refining your craft, releasing self-limiting beliefs, and surrounding yourself with a supportive creative community. Uniq also shares her journey from discovering music through artists like TLC, to teaching music production to youth, to embracing her next chapter as an artist.
You'll discover why perfectionism can be both a gift and a challenge, how confidence is built through repetition and action, and what it really takes to move from being "good" to becoming the artist you're meant to be. This episode is a powerful reminder that growth happens when you're willing to take up space, trust yourself, and step out from behind the veil.
