Indie folk duo Lace and Lee reveal the secret behind their shared songwriting chemistry, how deep sisterhood shapes their sound, why friendship must always come before the band, how to turn burnout into songwriting fuel, and what it takes to break through as an independent artist!

Lace and Lee (Olivia Lee Ondrasik and Caroline Lace McPherson) are an emerging indie-folk duo who first connected while studying musical theater at NYU’s TISCH School of the Arts. Known for blending poignant folk storytelling with vintage 1970s rock influences and comedic onstage banter, they have built a creative partnership rooted in deep sisterhood. Their debut EP, Mirror Mirror, serves as a reflection of self-discovery, shared ambition, and mutual trust. 

They explain:

◼ Why their collaborative process functions like a "chemical reaction" that neither could produce alone
◼ The shared spiritual intention and organic songwriting flow that guide every track they write together
◼ Why putting friendship above business keeps their creative spark alive in a tough industry
◼ Why there is abundant room in the music ecosystem for emerging talent
◼ What young and aspiring musicians need to know as they set out on their musical journey
