In this episode, we sit down with Melis — a Turkish musician who moved to Prague four years ago and has been carving her own path in the local music scene. From studying public and social policy at Charles University to finding her place through jam sessions and community, her story is one of resilience, creativity, and speaking up through art.
Melis opens up about the challenges of breaking into the industry as a foreigner, the joy of performing and creating, and what it’s like to suddenly go viral with politically charged content. We also touch on how AI is reshaping music, and why community matters more than ever.
🎙 Topics we explore:
– Moving from Turkey to Prague
– Discovering and building a music community
– The highs and lows of going viral
– Speaking through art and political expression
– Balancing passion with a full-time job
– AI’s impact on the music world
