027 I Learned How To Get Up Better with Jenna Andrews

In this episode Jenna and I talk how she got started in her phenomenal career and how she felt being a young girl in the music industry surrounded by older men. We discuss her podcast “The Green Room” and the importance of looking after your mental health and trying to control your emotions when doing business.

“Being signed to a major label, like I definitely bit my tongue a lot when I was wanting, you know, I knew what I wanted, but I also was scared to sort of like necessarily say that cuz I thought that if I spoke up, then that would mean, oh, I might get dropped or I may not be able to, you know, all those things.

And I think obviously the, the idea of having. You know, all males, all like your a and r team and all these type of things, especially older males, when you're like a young girl, it's also intimidating to be able to necessarily voice that opinion, you know? So for me that, that was hard cause I ended up making so much music that didn't end up coming out.”
