My guest today is Ian Fitchuk, a two-time Grammy Award–winning musician, songwriter, and producer based in Nashville. You've heard his work on Golden Hour with Kacey Musgraves - a landmark record that helped redefine the sound of modern country and pop. Ian has also collaborated with artists like Maggie Rogers, Joy Oladokun, Chris Stapleton, and Boyncé, bringing his versatile musicianship and deep sense of songcraft to every project he touches.

In this conversation, Ian shares his journey from growing up in a musical family to finding his voice as both an artist and a producer. We talk about the evolution of the Nashville music scene, how collaboration shapes every great record, and why fear can actually be one of the most powerful creative tools in the studio. Ian opens up about rediscovering his own songwriting, balancing commercial work with personal expression, and learning to embrace uncertainty as part of the artistic process.
