Post author By vish
Post date July 17, 2025

Bria Salmena is here to discuss Big Dog, ambivalence about moving out of Canada and my perspective on Los Angeles, the cool Toronto high school she attended and her interest in photography and art, the significance of great teachers like Jim Henderson, how co-producer Meg Remy of U.S. Girls helped her enhance her work as a vocalist, what inspired the deeply personal and clever lyrics on this album and their transitional themes, playing summer musical festivals like Hillside, new music, other future plans, and much more.
