Coffee with BAO Bao Vo Creative

Let's kick off Coffee with BAO Season 2 with a fun conversation with my 16 year old niece Kei! We get to know each other better at the park in the suburbs of Orange County, CA while our conversation centers around art, life, and learning. Submit questions for Bao or Kei and we'll be happy to answer them! Coffee with BAO is available as a podcast and a Youtube video series.

Coffee with BAO, Season 2 is in the works. I love this show but it was so much work to put together! So Season 2 will be much shorter episodes, much more informal, and way less structured. To check out the podcast, visit coffeewithbao.com or watch the video versions on my YouTube channel.

This week I'm joined by music artist and educator Tonie, aka Tony Nguyen, to share their new song "Daydreaming," which we wrote together a few months ago. We'll also talk about Tonie's path to becoming their current self, a non-binary Vietnamese American music artist, producer, and educator. We touch on how our life decisions impact and are impacted by others, taking risks and freeing yourself from perfection, and what's been top of mind for us lately. 

Find Tonie at itstonie.com or @tonie.wav on social media. Listen to Tonie's new single "Daydreaming" on your streaming platform of choice.

I'm trying out a more informal and shorter format, please let me know if it's better, worse, or if you have other ideas! Also, podcasts now include video too, if your Podcast player supports it. This week Katie Hargrove joins me before our co-writing session to talk about the breadth of her work as a songwriter, her journey in the music industry, and how her normal life as a human influences her work. We talk about her path from playing music in Knoxville TN at age 13 to moving to Los Angeles a few years ago to pursue songwriting. We also touch on having a real life outside of music, being a gay woman in the music industry, and what's been on our minds lately.
