Four Time Grammy Nominee, Autumn Rowe
How do you overcome obstacles?
I try to overcome obstacles by not giving up. Some of the challenges in the music industry can be overwhelming but I try to remember why I do this in the first place and my source of joy and purpose. Music has gotten me through the darkest times and continues to inspire me. Obstacles can turn into lessons and with enough lessons, we then become the teacher.
Tell us about your songwriting process. What does it look like to you?
My songwriting process varies but it all comes from a place of truth. Sometimes I write songs acapella, I often love writing with artists and helping to tell their special story and sometimes I produce a track and write to that. I mostly work with my production partner Kizzo. We have made so much music together and are always open to trying any idea.
What albums are you playing on repeat right now?
I love taking walks to Drake Certified Lover Boy and Anything from Yebba.
Many of my best collaborations have happened organically from me sending a DM or just approaching an artist or producer. It can be a bit cringe, but you might never get the opportunity again to see this person and it only takes 1 song to change your life...so just go for it. My last piece of advice is no one will or should ever care about your career more than you, so be your best advocate. You only have yourself, but manager and tables have tons of other people on their roster.. so, make your moves count.
What characteristics do you look for in friends?
I LOVEEEEE my friends. My close friends tend to be strong women, massive go getters. I’m constantly inspired by these women. They are driven, wise, generous, beautiful inside and out, smart, confident and have a great sense of humor. I love friends who I can share ideas with and build with. We all support each other…sometimes that sisterhood is all we have and that’s more than enough. □
