Stereo Embers: The Podcast

“Oh My God, This Is Over” That’s the exact thought K.C. Clifford had one night a few years ago as she put her kids to bed. She was referring to her career as a singer/songwriter, which had taken a backseat to motherhood. Not that Clifford was complaining—for years she had struggled with infertility and thanks to an infertility study and IVF, Clifford became the mother of two and she couldn’t have been happier. But her identity as an artist was something that was as essential to her soul as being a parent and Clifford was worried that having not nourished it for almost eight years, she didn’t know who she was anymore. But then she started to write in little bursts and then bigger bursts, and suddenly she had a record. In this conversation, Clifford talks about artistic doubt, motherhood and finding a new voice for her music. She also talks about being a woman in the music industry, coming to terms with being a woman in front of millions of gazes and her take on Lizzo.
