In this episode of Shaping Freedom, Lisane Basquiat sits down with Grammy Award–winning songwriter, producer, and vocal coach Autumn Rowe to explore the journey of finding your voice and using it with purpose.

Raised in the South Bronx, Autumn shares how music became both an outlet and a path forward, eventually leading her to write and produce songs for artists like Dua Lipa, Diana Ross, and Jon Batiste. She reflects on the persistence, faith, and inner work required to build a creative career, and how moments of doubt and challenge can shape a deeper understanding of freedom.

Together, Lisane and Autumn talk about creativity as a spiritual practice, the responsibility that comes with influence, and why mentorship and community matter in an industry that often overlooks the people behind the music.

This conversation is about more than songwriting. It’s about resilience, self-belief, and learning to trust the voice inside that knows who you are meant to be.
