In this conversation, we discuss learning to give space to other aspects of life as a touring musician, evolving as an artist – letting go of the ego-driven side of being on stage while still being in love with singing and words, the life-changing power of meditation – Liela’s experience of silent Vipassana retreats and how to bring the benefits of meditation into everyday life *and* music making, releasing an album during COVID-19 – the reasons for going ahead and blushing all day long – the day Liela got to sing with Nick Cave.
