Isabel Olive, AKA Half Gringa, on what inspires her

Isabel Olive discovered her love of music at her public school in Carbondale, Illinois. She learned to play the saxophone and joined her high school marching band. But now, she creates genre-straddling music as Half Gringa. She’s released several self-produced albums, and she is working to crowdfund her next record so she can level up with new collaborators. In this episode, Olive talks to host Erin Allen about where she gets inspiration and how growing up in a Venezuelan family in Illinois shaped her as a musician.
