Today I sit down with the owner of Mixtape Studios, Jarrett Nicolay. Jarrett is a hometown hero of the DMV music scene, most notably for playing bass in the Alexandria based rock band, Virginia Coalition. He also records under the moniker My New Mixtape, and has self produced and released three full length albums to date. Jarrett's songwriting has been featured in indie films including 2016 Sundance favorite “I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore”. It was so satisfying to get his take on working as an audio engineer, teaching students, the songwriting process, forecasts about what the live music scene could feel like in a post-covid world, and much more.
