Madi Diaz joins host Stephen Kallao

Madi Diaz says she’s found the most success writing from her own point of view. She’s put that perspective to work for others, writing songs for Miranda Lambert, Kesha, and more. But, her latest solo album, Weird Faith, may prove to be her biggest hit yet. During a session in front of a live audience at World Cafe, Diaz talks about her writing process, getting vulnerable on her new album, and joining Harry Styles on tour.

Listen to the session here.
