Hey there friends!
On today's episode, I'm really excited because I'm speaking with my friend Christie Gee.
Christie Gee is many things, one of which is the podcast host for her show The Christie Gee Podcast. She's interviewed some amazing artists like Chris Carrabba from Dashboard Confessional, Kris Roe of The Ataris, Matt Pryor of The Get Up Kids, and many more.
She's also an extremely creative person, she's an artist who does custom portraits for folks, as well as a maker of buttons, stickers, pins, and art. She's even worked on some album art which is really cool.
I started following her a few years ago on social media, and I've always enjoyed her enthusiasm for all things 90's, but also because she's a fan of pop punk and emo of the 90's and into the 2000's.
I love that she's a big fan of Empire Records as that's one of my favorite movies that I grew up with and it makes total sense that she's making buttons that not only honor that film but pays tribute to so many different bands and things.
We talk about growing up in a small town in Texas, moving to California, embracing country music, selling stuff to celebrities, doing creative work, and pursuing your dreams despite all the naysayers and doubters.
It was an absolute pleasure speaking with Christie. I really do think we could talk about this stuff for hours. I had a lot of fun.
So, without further ado, please enjoy this wide-ranging and fun convo with Christie Gee.
