You’ll want to watch this honest, introspective conversation as @lulusimon sits down with Grant Alexander to unpack what it really means to find your voice.
We get into how Lulu developed her sound growing up in a house full of musicians (she’s the daughter of music icons Paul Simon and Edie Brickell!), why she believes “genre is a prison,” and how she’s learned to trust her instincts instead of chasing expectations. From writing songs no one heard to creating music that helps others feel seen, this episode is about expression in its most real form.
We also dive into the story behind her song “Summer Dog,” and how loss, change, and growing up shaped not just her music — but how she sees herself and the world.
If you’ve ever struggled to express what you’re feeling, or felt like you don’t quite have the words yet — this one’s for you.
Highlights:
– How Lulu Simon took her time to find her voice, without trying to sound like anyone else
– Why “genre is a prison” and how labels limit creativity
– Writing through emotions you don’t fully understand yet
– The story behind “Summer Dog” and processing loss + growing up
– How to trust your taste and express yourself honestly
