Episode 32 features a conversation between creator/host Rita Phetmixay and music maker/DJ/audio editor of HOL– Andrew David Vilaythong!

During this episode, Andrew reflects on his experiences of growing up with a parent suffering from mental illness + therapy as a tool for addressing conflict-avoidant behaviors & making music as self-exploration.

Today, Andrew continues to thrive in his creativity thru DJing/producing beats and being the best plant dad he can be to his 15+ plant children in Los Angeles.
