Studio UChicago

Studio UChicago plays music by UChicago students. Join “music fan” Diego Pedulla-Smith as he embarks on a journey to highlight the best and most talented musicians within our very own UChicago community. Each episode we’ll be taking an in-depth look at a few artists; listening to their biggest hits and chatting with them about a myriad of topics, from their musical influences to their creative process.

Be warned – this show will ~shatter~ everything you think you know about music. I wouldn’t be surprised if you never hear a chord the same way again. But for those up to the challenge, you’ll get to see a different side of your classmates, listen to some great music, and, heh, maybe even learn a thing or two about yourself along the way.

(If you would like to have your music on the show shoot an email to pedullasmith@gmail.com)
