An Inspired Chat with Secret Sister of Los Angeles

We recently had the chance to connect with Secret Sister and have shared our conversation below.

Secret, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What do you think is misunderstood about your business? 
people see the analog gear & vibe & community & hone in on the retro recording aspect of what we do, but the true end goal is not even about any of that – its about protecting musicians rights and royalties

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
alongside all the normal recording studio stuff, we’re doing an exciting series:

weekly recordings where we bring new people together and 24 hours to record and release some music. all the royalties are split equally and IPs protected from AI and greedy streaming platforms

the records are a way to keep music human-centered and is building towards the development of a platform that protects musicians rights and royalties

trying to have as much fun as possible along the way, and the records actually sound sick too

Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
we’re all just kids full of imagination and playfulness until the the heaviness of responsibility and knowledge weights us down

its really important that we all make an effort to not lose that child-like nature we all have in us. thats something we’re trying to foster at the studio through casual releases, and a platform to share the music that doesn’t reflect on any one persons career or brand

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
pushing through anything difficult just make you less fragile… the hardest things you go through make small inconveniences feel more trivial. I don’t think you can actually truly find success and fulfillment without pushing through serious difficulty and toughening up

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
If the public version of you isn’t real to who you really are, then you’re robbing yourself of potential for the deepest happiness in life. Its a lifelong process – and more difficult for artists “trying to make it” but its crucial

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What will you regret not doing? 
hopefully nothing… I think the difficult thing for most of these days is letting all the small tasks and communications keep us from creating the major things that have more significant impact
