Episode description

What makes a great song timeless, and how does an artist evolve from drummer to chart-topping songwriter to solo artist? In this episode, we sit down with Andy Stochansky, a music industry veteran, former drummer for Ani DiFranco, and a respected songwriter who has worked with artists like Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls. Now stepping back into the spotlight with his solo project, Andy shares his journey of reinvention and creative freedom.

We dive into his incredible career, from touring 150+ shows a year with Ani DiFranco to landing a record deal in LA and writing for major artists. Andy reflects on how his obsession with the perfect pop song has shaped his approach to music and what led him to create his latest album, Poetry of Birds. We also talk about his latest single, "Oxygen", the emotional story behind it, and how the song speaks to friendship, resilience, and support in difficult times.

If you love songwriting, behind-the-scenes music industry stories, and raw, honest artistry, this episode is a must-listen!
