Show notes

In the mood for punk pop? Well, you're in the right spot! On this episode of the dHarmic Evolution podcast, I got a London lady oozing with personality and awesomeness - the rockin' and rollin' Millie Manders.

Millie grew up with music all around her, with Glenn Miller and the Red Hot Chili Peppers as two of her early influences. She's got such a powerful voice that I believe the saying "bring the house down" was actually made for her! Seriously!

This musical powerhouse writes songs that is inspired by her personal experiences, and she sings about women's struggles with physical and emotional insecurity. Millie wants to reflect the "crazy" in her songs - and man did she get her message across! Listening to her tracks will definitely get you up and running! Kudos, Millie!

She shares with me the kind of gigs she wants to showcase her music in
Of course, early influencers! You'll be amazed what she grew up with!
