Avalon Emerson has spent years building a reputation as one of the world's most respected DJs and electronic music producers, known for marathon sets in dance music hubs like San Francisco and Berlin.
But with her indie-pop band, The Charm, she set out to do something very different: make songs with friends. Avalon Emerson & The Charm's latest album is 'Written into Changes.'
Today, Avalon talks about stepping away from the solitary world of electronic production, learning to write songs with a little help from Jeff Tweedy's 'How to Write One Song,' and how building The Charm ultimately deepened her connection to DJing and reshaped the way she thinks about making music.
