In this episode, Charisma and Christian are joined by singer, songwriter and producer Esthero to discuss her storied music career, her love (and disdain) for roller skating rinks and how Spotify has changed the way she produces and distributes her music. We also forgot to ask the Toronto native the origin of her name. So, according to wikipedia, here it is: Esthero is a portmanteau of "Esther the hero"; she claims to have gotten the name by combining the name of the heroine (Esther) and last line ("If I am to be the hero, then I cannot fly from darkness") of the movie from Sylvia Plath's novel, The Bell Jar. Esthero's sound characteristically features her voice over a mix of mellow bass lines, jazzy trumpets, Spanish guitar and hip-hop. She is sometimes compared to artists Björk, Portishead, Billie Holiday, and Sade. She has co-produced the majority of the material she performed. Later female artists who count Esthero among their influences include Res, Fergie and fellow Canadian Nelly Furtado. You can find Esthero's music on iTunes or at esthero.net Also Follow her on Instagram: @peachcup
