flyte

On this episode, Lauren is joined by the super talented English singer, songwriters Will Taylor and Nick Hill, who, together are the band Flyte.

The pair met at secondary school, eventually settling in Hackney, London.

In 2017 they released their debut album 'The Loved Ones' followed in 2021 by their second album 'This Is Really Going To Hurt'. After the release of two critically acclaimed albums, they have established themselves as an influential mainstay.

After extensive touring across Europe and North America, Flyte teamed back up with Andrew Sarlo (who they worked with on their 2nd record), this time at London's famous Konk Studios, to record their most confident and collaborative work to date.

In October 2023, they released their third, self-titled album, a beautiful record exploring love in all its early forms.

Will and Nick chat through the record track by track, discussing the recording process as well as the host of friends and collaborators involved including Laura Marling, Billie Marten and Jessica Staveley-Taylor.

In continuing the journey of  wholistic health for our voice and body, Tara chats with a pro musician who takes us on a little different journey of the singing voice. This episode features Fiona Flyte, the Singer’s Biz Coach. Fiona shares her story about how she became a singer and entrepreneur and how her journey has led her to help other singers. She delves into the mindset behind being a Singerpreneur and gives singers some ways that they can start a vocal studio. If you are a singer and want to look at why you sing and how you can stay healthy in your mindset as a singer making a living, this is the episode for you.

(4:06) While Fiona didn’t grow up in a musical family, she still had parents who took her to musical theater and plays. She developed a love for musical theater.

(6:22) Fiona was shy and struggled in high school with letting herself perform. She really didn’t do any performing in public until college.

(7:33)  A voice teacher who came to her glee club in college inspired her to take voice lessons and was the catalyst for Fiona pursuing some opera.

(12:18)  Performing and coaching happened simultaneously for Fiona.

(13:56) “Don’t discount the other ways in which you make money as a musician.”

(14:05) “In teaching you are providing so much service. You are lifting other people up.”

(15:20) “A singerpreneur is somebody that really understand that making a life in music is not so specific to just performing…we’re CEO’s of a business.”

(20:50) Fiona has created a video series on YouTube on helping people launch a vocal studio.

(24:49) “We only need to be a couple of steps ahead of whoever is our student.”

(30:49) “The more we believe that we have to be perfect, the more our ego will tell us that we shouldn’t put anything out because we’re not perfect.”

(34:16) Mindset, marketing and monetization are the three pillars for Fiona’s coaching.
