They dive into the importance of physical music formats like cassettes, the realities of navigating the modern music industry and social media, and the power of community engagement through his live shows. Cyrano also opens up about the creative process behind his latest work and how he continues to evolve as an artist seeking authenticity in an algorithm-driven world.
