Mazie is an independent artist with a rad story. She came up in Baltimore with a close circle of friends in music and continued to grow from there. She’s proof that you don’t need to conform to the typical path or standards of the music industry to have success. Stories like hers are truly my favorite and she joins us this week to tell it in detail and share some great advice as well!
