I just want to have my own sound and if I have influences from something soulful or something more rocking or something that's even a little Poppy, that's okay.   44:02  But sometimes just little things here and there. It makes such a huge difference. And that's why I just love co-writing because sometimes you just need to get out of your own way and get out of your own headspace.   45:36:  And as far back as I can remember, music was such a huge deal for me. I mean, I just thought I was always meant to do that.   55:58  I wish I just had a rewind button to where I could rewind and figure out how I can reformat my day, more efficiently.   Timestamps   02:10 Introducing Susan Hickman  06:30 Listen to “Moth to a flame” by Susan Hickman  10:55 Susan shares the recording process and the people he worked with her track “Moth to a flame”  16:13 Susan tells the story of the surgery she went through  22:04 Listen to “Hesitation” by Susan Hickman  26:02 A little background on her song “Hesitation”  30:05 Susan’s affiliation to Nashville  33:51 The kind of music Susan does  36:43 Listen to “Save Me” by Susan Hickman  40:54 The story behind “Save me”  44:15 When did Susan recognize her ability with songwriting?  45:52 Susan’s influences to craft her sound  50:12 Listen to “Rewind” by Susan Hickman  53:32 A little back story on “Rewind”  1:00:30 Best place to connect with Susan  1:01:20 Last words of wisdom and wishes to the audience  1:02:38 Listen to “Connected” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist   Click the link below and check out the Spotify playlist “Rising dHarmic Stars”   Featuring amazing and talented artists who have been a guest on this show!  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4loDaYF0OuWRjZeMXvEjK4   Special links and Mentions  Stormy Cooper Motown Poppy Pete Townshend LeAnn Rimes Dolly Parton Vince Gill Garth Brooks Stevie Nicks Linda Ronstadt Don Henley   Connect with Susan Hickman   Website:https://www.susanhickman.com/  Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/susanhickmanmusic  Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/susanhickmanmusic/  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/SusanLynnetteHickman/  Twitter:https://twitter.com/susanhickman  Snapchat:SusanHickman1  Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/2ZS0CtuGcK8LdoxORVMf6u  Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Susan-Hickman/dp/B001VG48RS?pldnSite=1  Apple Music:https://music.apple.com/us/artist/susan-hickman/86311049
