Interview with MoeDell

We’ll start this show with MoeDeLL — a hardworking and talented man that holds 250-270 shows a year. He has performed for crowds of every size, from farmers’ markets to bars, and corporate events.

MoeDeLL is a prolific Americana songwriter. He plays the guitar and will captivate you with his unique voice and creative lyrics. He loved music as a kid and he started to learn to play the guitar at 9 years old.

Listen to MoeDeLL’s song being featured today in the show, “Hoppin’ Trains”.

Interview with Jordan White

Next, we have Jordan White, a young man originally from Philadelphia. He writes great pop-rock songs that really cut to the heart. He has a good voice and a great chord structure. Every time he comes up with something new I am plugging in and listening, I have become a fan…

He’s been on the dHarmic evolution twice. Let’s look back on the conversation where Jordan is describing some transitional period in his life which led to the recording of the track being featured today.

The song is Jordan’s title track for his new EP, “High Road”.

Interview with Kylie Odetta

Now, we’ll have a young lady which is way wiser beyond her years, Kylie Odetta. She is an indie/soul singer-songwriter. She creates music that is powerful and dreamy. Her raspy voice will definitely capture you.

We have one of Kylie’s smash hits “Under the Sun” featured today on the show.

She shared on the show before a cool discussion about songwriting, vocals, voice changing, surgery, and mostly sounds. She also mentioned one of her favorite shows that created a cozy welcoming experience where people get to be a part of the music and it’s not just her who performs on stage.

On this episode of the dHarmic Evolution podcast, we have a returning guest! Jordan White joined us on DE49, and he is back to talk about his new album “High Road” and give us an inside look at his writing process. At the age of 12, Jordan’s family moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania, which turned out to be a very rough transition for him. Though he didn’t realize it at the time, he began struggling with depression when he was about 15 and getting into music really gave him an escape from his difficult emotions. Having gone through these struggles, he is that much more grateful that he is able to make living writing music now.

Jordan got his Associate’s, Bachelor’s, and Master’s degrees, and he really connected with psychology. In fact, he found that he began to write better the more he understood about his own mind. Growing up, he was heavily influenced by the music of The Clash, Nirvana, Al Green, and other 70’s singer-songwriters, and he has recently gotten into Bruce Springsteen’s deep tracks. Jordan and James talk about their different writing methods, including where inspiration comes from, what time of day, and how structured or unstructured they prefer the environment. Jordan finds that he is most inspired when he travels to new places, perhaps because he is seeing the world in a new way and writing provides an outlet for processing.
When it comes to gigs, Jordan aims to play 3 shows per week, and he has found that he prefers to play at ticketed shows because the audience is more engaged with the artist. This engagement contributes to the mutual sharing of energy between the artist and the audience, feeding off each other to achieve the purest artistic experience. Jordan’s advice to anyone out there considering pursuing music is to not give up and to not settle. Be true to yourself and chase your sound.
