A Life in Six Songs

Send us a text

Ever learn about someone’s life story through their personal soundtrack? Sounds pretty cool right? In this episode we get to know one of our three hosts, Carolina, as she walks you through the joyous and painful moments of her life through a diverse score of songs. From disco and hip hop to salsa and alternative music, it’s quite the ride. Learn how the cool teenager next door opened her world to new music, why Alicia Keys makes her cry following the death of her first husband, and everything in between.

Follow your hosts David, Raza, and Carolina every week as they embark on an epic adventure to find the songs that are stuck to us like audible tattoos to tell the story of who we are and where we’ve been. It’s a life story told through 6 songs. Take a listen, and as always, if you have someone whose life you’d like to hear in 6 songs, let us know.
