<![CDATA[80s, Baby! with Seersha]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/80s-baby I'm Seersha, an internationally touring artist, songwriter, and producer who also happens to be deeply in love with the decade that defined pop culture like no other.

It wasn't always clear how this passion would shape my journey, but my love for the era has led me on a wild adventure from depressed corporate girly to living my dream: making original synthwave inspired by the 80s, bringing 80s hits to life around the world with tribute band Guardians of the Jukebox, and exploring the intersection of 80s new wave and jazz via my duo, Moonlighting.

In each episode, we’ll explore the creative process, personal stories, and the cultural impact behind the songs we all love. Plus, I'll share some insights and takeaways for fellow creatives and dreamers, from my perspective.

So, whether you’re an 80s aficionado, an aspiring artist, or just curious about the magic of this incredible decade, tune in and let’s rewind, relive, and re-love the 80s together.
