Not in a Huff with Jackson Huff Jackson Huff

This week I chat with young pop country artist Malachi Gagnon about starting to write at a young age. Where he draws his inspiration from when writing about some pretty heavy topics and his overall joy for the music industry. Great chat!

This week I speak with Afarin Bellisario about the the country of Iran and how it is much different than what many Westerns think. Ms. Bellisario grew up in Tehran in a family with its feet in the past and its head in the future: whereas her grandmothers could barely read, Afarin’s university-educated father and uncles were prominent members of Iran’s new technocratic elite.
Upon receiving a Ph.D. (and a subsequent MBA) from MIT, she has worked for firms such as Intel, Analog Devices, and Raytheon. Today, Afarin consults, teaches, and mentors young ventures. But writing has been a passion. In 2013, her essay “Movies with My Aunt” was published in the anthology Love & Pomegranates. The Wall Street Journal and The Boston Globe have published several of her op-eds, and she writes regularly about the clash between tradition and modernity on Medium. We talk largely about the culture in Iran and her recently published fiction book "Silenced Whispers" that shares history and culture of Iran in an easily digestible story.

Born and raised on the Gold Coast of Australia, my guest this week Chloe Styler was introduced to country music at a young age. Spending her teenage years teaching herself guitar and writing songs in her bedroom, Chloe released her debut EP in her early twenties. Chloe now finds herself gently pushing the barriers of country music with her distinct pop country sound and making waves internationally.
Since releasing her first project in 2017, Chloe has delivered multiple alluring singles that have earned her over 270,000 streams across all platforms, nominations at the Queensland Music Awards and Gold Coast Music Awards, and finalist status in the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition.
Chloe Styler’s music is forward thinking and unique, and her new music pushes the boundaries that little bit further. This year will see Chloe release a slew of singles recorded at Station West Recording Studios and produced by Grammy-award winning engineer and producer, Luke Wooten (Brad Paisley/Dierks Bentley). These tunes are set to break new and exciting international ground for this quickly rising country star.

This week I speak with Maggie Mills a ghostwriter who helps others share their story's. Scrolling through her website and you won’t find the name of one famous or infamous person from her client list. And you never will. Ms. Mills' services are completely discrete and by referral only. She never name names—no matter how famous they are now or how famous they become. The life of a ghostwriter is an interesting one and I found my conversation this week with exactly how it is all done to be fascinating! So, do you yourself have a book, buried deep within you, and you could use a bit of help bringing it forth? Maybe you are destine to join this list of Maggie's subjects...she will never tell though!
