deep into the justine skye lore - ep. 20
Show notes
This week we're joined by singer, songwriter, actress, and longtime friend Justine Skye. From growing up in Brooklyn and navigating the music industry at a young age to building a career on her own terms, Justine opens up about the experiences that shaped her both personally and professionally. We talk about being bullied in school, the lessons she learned from watching her mom work in entertainment, redefining success, and the moment she realized no one was going to build her career for her. Plus, we revisit how we all became friends—including Vic's infamous vibe check.
