Description

In this episode of the Pirate Studios Podcast, we sit down with indie pop artist Aleesha King to talk about DIY creation, van-life recording, and turning existential fear into deeply personal music.

Aleesha shares how she recorded her debut album in a self-built van, why albums still matter in a singles-driven world, and how themes like mental health, perfectionism, and mortality shape her upcoming project January Scaries. We also dive into visual world-building, creative discipline, and what it really means to make work that feels honest.

Featuring music from Aleesha King, including Written in Red. Plus a shout-out to collaborator GRVNT, who appears on an upcoming track.
