Todd Almond is a NYC-based musician, composer, and playwright. He has collaborated with many of today's top theatre artists, and performs his own solo material as well. Here, Todd candidly discusses growing up in a small midwestern town, his embarrassing first couple of gigs, knowing and focusing on what you're good at, and his decision not to be a brain surgeon.  www.toddalmond.com

Grace McLean is a New York City based singer, songwriter, and actor.  Both as a solo artist and along with her band, Grace McLean and Them Apples, she's been busy seducing audiences with her clever and dynamic songs, sharp wit, and magnetic stage presence. Here, Grace ruminates on her upbringing in the OC, the rewards of teaching, and the musical she is developing about the fascinating medieval visionary, Hildegard von Bingen. Also, Grace shares a diary entry from age 11 and we go deep about our mutual love of The West Wing.  www.gracemclean.com

Miko De Leon is a New York City based singer-songwriter, and frontman of the indie folk/pop band, Miko & the Musket. Here, Miko talks about how his ethnicity informs his role in the music scene, transitioning from a very personal to a more universal songwriting style, and his dream of playing at the White House. Also, Miko and I are both visited by ghosts from our past lives when we studied musical theatre.  www.mikoandthemusket.com
