Welcome back to the Ground Up Show. I'm your host Matt Diavella and today I'm sitting down to chat

with Tatiana de Maria, an incredibly talented musician, singer, and songwriter that founded the London-based

rock band Tat. By the time she was 18 years old, she had two chart-topping singles. She later went on to

write and produce music for commercials, television shows, and film. On the podcast

today, she explains why you need to think critically about your time, the things you're attached

to, and your life commitments. This podcast is brought to you advertisement free by Patreon

Europe for three years and then came and did the US for three years. And there's a long,
