“Being a woman in this industry is impossible, it is either money or sex,” singer, songwriter Kuchicola opens the door into the adversity she has had to face as a woman in the entertainment industry where woman are constantly sexualized and expected to sacrifice their dignity and their bodies in order to prosper as entertainers.
The Queens Fortress transformed into a safe space when Nicola shared a tender part of her being with us. When she was faced with the pain of a miscarriage, poetry became her silver lining. The songwriter shared a poem by the late Tupac in studio, a poem that helped her mend herself.
From safe space to live stage, the singer sang a song off her latest project in studio. Some parts of the episode were heavy, but we played and we had a phenomenal time. Kuchi was also tasked with having to create a song in studio to a beat that she had never heard by fellow female producer, Sirius. She rose to the occasion and it was stunning.
