Ep.60 - Omotola “The Tangible Has Value”

The Rawkwardness Podcast

Rose, Terence, and Tony talk to singer/songwriter/producer Omotola about Limewire, her transformative period of working at Urban Outfitters, her emo era, and the “neural synapse moment” of realizing she could harmonize with herself on her parent’s tape recorder, all guided by sifting through a box of old mix CDs and concert tickets. Stay tuned for which CD has been stuck in her car since 2013, and Tony’s favorite Spice Girl.
