On the first episode of Doing Music, Robin Skinner talks to host Craig Schuftan about his open-hearted, vulnerable songwriting and production as Cavetown. Since breaking through on YouTube at the age of 14, Skinner has amassed legions of fans with his confessional, endearing approach, and making music has served as an essential kind of self-therapy while he’s grown up in public. In this wide-reaching conversation, he talks about re-defining his sense of home, writing songs that bring the best out of his band, navigating fame and what it really means to bare your soul in your music.
