Sean David Christensen interviews ERIKA POH

Sean David Christensen interviews singer/songwriter and friend of the band, ERIKA POH, about her debut EP Teens In My Twenties. Painted from a vivid musical palette influenced by Broadway melodies, R&B and symphonic masterworks, POH's songwriting explores the doubts of young adulthood with intricate harmonies woven from a large cast of collaborators and friends.

"It’s a body of work that questions societal expectations of growing up," says POH. "It questions the need to feel like growing up is a point of arrival or even a process in which the individual emerges from it having everything figured out. I think all these thoughts/phases are what I’m currently going through right now in my career which is what compelled me to write this."

Shoutout LA: Interview with Sean David Christensen

Sean David Christensen’s latest interview with Shoutout LA. The lead singer of Maggie Dave shares his thoughts on collaborative harmony, songwriting, and the importance of supporting your artist friends:

“I choose to see success through the lens of collaborative harmony, particularly with my career as an artist & producer. Any claim I can make to my ‘success,’ is owed to the trust given to me by the remarkable individuals I’ve had the honor of collaborating with over the years. By emerging together from the creative process with a bold statement, be it a film, song or show, if I’m able to amplify the unique strengths of all those involved while creating something singular and memorable – we’ve accomplished something truly special. You can’t do that on your own.”

VoyageLA: Meet Cassie Shao

Learn more about the creative process of animator Cassie Shao, director of Maggie Dave - I’m Not Ready, in this revealing and thought-provoking interview from VoyageLA:

“Making animations about my dreams, and the reality told through dream imagery have been extremely fun. I enjoy creating the otherworldly perspective. As I try to achieve that, I went down the road of mixing and blending all mediums I could think of and capturing the texture of everything I see fit. I find chaos and contradictions the most charming, and they are emphasized continuously more. I do realize that it creates some sort of distance as if examining something very personal from ten feet away, and it steers the audience away from designated emotions; but sometimes with this distance, sparks curiosity.”
