OK, so I'm just flat out nervous with all these amazing guests lately. And for good reason — hence, Laura Escudé, a serious accomplished talent and musical entrepreneur from Los Angeles who came on the pod! Basically, Laura started out playing real-deal classical violin, discovered electronic music in the late 90s, and went all in. She's been on the forefront of music technology, starting with a gig at Ableton (THE program pretty much all EDM folks use) where she mentored folks on the 1s and 2s, then went on to do custom live programming for Kanye West, Miguel, Charli xcx, and more of your favorites. We talked all about her turning points, from the first time she heard drum n' bass (shoutout Goldie), to working for m-audio, getting laid off, then bouncing back to build her own business educating, inspiring, and creating electronic music with amazing people. Oh, and Laura still plays the violin! Check her tunes on spotify and everywhere. Hear the full Petty Podcast here: [ Ссылка ]
