Hi guys and welcome to Adulting. This is the podcast where I try to figure out what it

0:18.2

means to be an adult in the teenage and what affects the way we grow up. And today I

0:22.1

am joined by Freyridings. Hello! Freyr is a singer, songwriter, you probably heard her singing

0:27.7

loss without you, it's actually one of my favourite songs at the minute. And today I think we

0:32.4

wanted to talk about kind of the industry that she's in, career-wise because I guess for Freyr,

0:38.0

when she was a little, I bet you said like, want to grow up, I'd love to be a singer.

0:41.1

I actually said I wanted to be a blacksmith, but it was my thing. Until I was about nine, I said I

0:46.4

wanted to be like jewelry or blacksmith making because I love jewelry. And then I saw what was it? Love

1:24.3

over 10 years. Yeah, whereas from the outside, we're like, oh my god, like, look at you. Like,

1:28.4

and I guess for you that buildup has been really graduate. Maybe it doesn't look as dramatic as.

1:32.6

I mean, the last six months are so different from the first six months of this year. And it's almost

1:36.8

like, it does kind of like a snowball kind of effect. It was like a little pebble and then it was

1:41.0

like a little snowball and that's like massive like yeti-sized snowball. Like this is insane,

1:45.6
