KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[22:40] AI can be useful by using it to curate all the information that is at our fingertips that we waste so much time trying to sift through. If you can ask AI the right question, it can curate the information that you want to find online.
[28:32] Social media has benefits for a musician, one being that you can get your music out there affordably and it can be heard all around the world.
[37:25] For Britta, there is a big difference between singing in the studio and singing live for an audience. There is a feeling of being terrified, excited, vulnerable and exposed which gives her a big thrill.
