Shownotes

Picture this: a world where each note of a song isn't just heard, but felt. A place where melodies carry the weight of stories, emotions, and the power to transform and connect.

That's the world singer and songwriter Chase Bell lives in, and today, he's here to share it with us.

In our conversation, we're peeling back the layers of his creative process.

Real talk about the highs and lows of making music that moves people.

Chase opens up about the lessons learned from working with giants like Aloe Blacc, the adventures of composing across continents, and the science of sound with cymatics and explores music's capacity to heal both the mind and body.

And in a world buzzing with noise, he reminds us of the profound power of simply listening.

So, whether you're a musician, a music lover, or just someone curious about the art of sound, this episode gives you a glimpse into the heart of a man for whom music is not just a profession, but a way of life.
