Callum Harrison

Bea talks about where she found inspiration during a time of non-stop touring, therapeutic songwriting, and challenging the listener. The London-based songwriter also talks about how Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang gave her a window into mental health, her love of Daniel Johnston, and the new music that she’s already finished.
