This week Emma chats with the hugely successful songwriter, Scott Alan, who reigns supreme in the Musical Theatre world with his notoriously honest and vulnerable style of writing.. They discuss how music has played such a huge role in managing Scott's mental health. the process of songwriting and performing as a form of catharsis, the dedication required to release your own music independently and their shared adoration of the Studio 54 era, Karen Carpenter and Joni Mitchell.
