Ep. 24 with Songwriter, Paige Rutledge

On Episode 24, I talk to singer-songwriter, Paige Rutledge! We met at the University of Guelph during our time at the open mics in the historic Bullring venue. I was hosting the open mics when I met Paige and instantly loved her style of honest songwriting, and I have always wanted to co-write or chat about music, so I’m excited to hear her perspective on everything. Paige is actively involved in co-writing, and often heads to Nashville to collaborate and grow her network of songwriters for building her discography and songwriting experience.
