40. Reclaiming Your Voice After Everything Falls Apart with Louissa

Show Notes

Ep.40: Some artists entertain. Others reveal. In this episode of loves music, I sit down with Louissa, an artist whose voice, story, and presence feel lived-in, earned, and unapologetically real. From nearly losing her ability to sing to reclaiming her voice through sheer grit and intention, Louissa opens up about healing, rebellion, artistry, and what it really takes to stay in the game when the path gets brutal. This conversation moves through grief, perseverance, creative rebirth, and the unseen work behind an artist who looks effortless on stage but has fought hard for every inch of ground. If you’ve ever questioned your place, your voice, or your timing, this one hits deep.

We Chat About:

Reclaiming her voice after chronic illness and the emotional weight of starting over
Why her music is equal parts healing, truth-telling, and rebellion
The unseen reps, bad gigs, and failures that shape a seasoned live performer
Writing anthemic songs that still feel intimate and vulnerable
Collaboration, vocal training, and building a sound that refuses to live in one genre
Navigating burnout, rebranding, and shedding the pressure to be “put together”
How grief, family, and loss continue to inform her artistry
What success really looks like beyond streams, followers, and industry validation

About Louissa:

After nearly losing her voice to chronic illness, Louissa has been on a powerful journey of reclamation. Her music is her truth, her healing, and her rebellion. Now in the midst of a rebrand, she is committed to showing up as her most unmasked and fully realized artistic self—inviting listeners to do the same and discover their own truths within her songs. Louissa has already made her mark, performing at Virginia Beach’s inaugural Pulse Fest and being handpicked to appear at Pharrell’s Mighty Dream Forum. Her collaborations span Grammy winners, Billboard-charting producers, and multi-platinum talent—yet her voice and vision remain unmistakably her own.
