070: CHAII

CHAII is the genre-bending New Zealand/Persian rapper pushing a bold creative vision, and today, she swings by the podcast to give me a picture of her life as a kid who grew up in Iran. From playing soccer in the streets, bike riding, listening to music on her cassette player, climbing trees, swimming in the river…how does did play a role in her becoming a music producer? Her music tracks channel southern-Iranian influenced drum patterns while her distinctive vocal delivers a dance floor commanding commentary on millennial social pressures. We keep the conversation light and fun, with deeper layers to it too. Visit the website: https://www.bedroombeethovens.com/ Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bedroombeethovens
