Syd Hartha on Almost Deleting the Songs That Started Her Career & Finding Purpose on Stage | S02E30

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

Some artists write songs you listen to. Others write songs that quietly become part of your life. Our guest today has built a catalog filled with music that people return to during both the biggest moments and the quietest ones. Today, we're diving into the creative mind behind those songs and the passions that inspire her away from the spotlight.

Fangirls and fanboys, Syd Hartha!
