Podcast Description
"loves music" is a podcast, hosted by me, Julian Jones, that celebrates music and the moments that made us fall in love with it. It’s for music-lovers who, despite the demands of life, remain passionate about their beloved albums and artists and still seek to discover new talent, whether online, internationally, or within the sweaty crowded bars of your hometown. It’s in us! We don't know why we do it; we just do… and we refuse to grow out of it.
Every Thursday, I interview artists past and present about making music: their inspiration, their challenges, and the moments they will never forget.
If you love or even have a dysfunctional relationship with music, come along, and share this show with someone who loves music.

Ep.40: Some artists entertain. Others reveal. In this episode of loves music, I sit down with Louissa, an artist whose voice, story, and presence feel lived-in, earned, and unapologetically real. From nearly losing her ability to sing to reclaiming her voice through sheer grit and intention, Louissa opens up about healing, rebellion, artistry, and what it really takes to stay in the game when the path gets brutal. This conversation moves through grief, perseverance, creative rebirth, and the unseen work behind an artist who looks effortless on stage but has fought hard for every inch of ground. If you’ve ever questioned your place, your voice, or your timing, this one hits deep.
We Chat About:
- Reclaiming her voice after chronic illness and the emotional weight of starting over
- Why her music is equal parts healing, truth-telling, and rebellion
- The unseen reps, bad gigs, and failures that shape a seasoned live performer
- Writing anthemic songs that still feel intimate and vulnerable
- Collaboration, vocal training, and building a sound that refuses to live in one genre
- Navigating burnout, rebranding, and shedding the pressure to be “put together”
- How grief, family, and loss continue to inform her artistry
- What success really looks like beyond streams, followers, and industry validation
About Louissa:
After nearly losing her voice to chronic illness, Louissa has been on a powerful journey of reclamation. Her music is her truth, her healing, and her rebellion. Now in the midst of a rebrand, she is committed to showing up as her most unmasked and fully realized artistic self—inviting listeners to do the same and discover their own truths within her songs. Louissa has already made her mark, performing at Virginia Beach’s inaugural Pulse Fest and being handpicked to appear at Pharrell’s Mighty Dream Forum. Her collaborations span Grammy winners, Billboard-charting producers, and multi-platinum talent—yet her voice and vision remain unmistakably her own.
