Vagabon: Fresh Find

Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond - A podcast by Pushkin Industries

This week’s Fresh Find, Vagabon, is a self taught, Cameroonian-born musician whose haunting voice and genre defying style has won over critics at both The New Yorker and Pitchfork. In this episode she talks about emigrating from West Africa to Harlem as a teenager, sneaking out of her parent’s house to play D.I.Y. punk shows in Brooklyn, and how bouts of writer’s block can cause her to dream of writing code instead of new music.
