Today on the Spiritual Spiral, you're in store for a GREAT chat as I'm THRILLED to welcome back Troy Akers to the show. Troy is based in Nashville and he is an incredible singer/songwriter who goes by the moniker, Bandit Heart. I've been such a HUGE fan of his so when I saw he was releasing new music after a long hiatus, I was stoked to have him back on the show. FYI, all of the music on today's episode is of course from Bandit Heart so be sure to find him on Spotify, iTunes and Youtube AND follow Bandit Heart on IG by clicking HERE. Troy and I start off by talking about what brought him back into the studio after a three year hiatus. We discuss his creative process, how these new songs were born, and what it's been like to work with a brand new producer. We talk about writing lyrics, the mysterious process of songwriting and the gift that comes from being a singer/songwriter. Troy also shares the meaning behind "Bandit Heart" and tells us when we can expect more music including his first full-length record. If you're a musician, artist or simply curious about the creative process, I think you'll really resonate with this episode. As always, thanks so much for listening to the show and being so supportive. I appreciate YOU!
