Dree Mon’s brilliant shift from live music to Twitch

Dree Mon is no stranger to shape-shifting. Starting her career in LA as a dancer and choreographer, she eventually followed her passion for live performance into songwriting, making a name for herself touring venues all across California. She's since released several singles and music videos under the moniker 'Dree Mon.' In 2020, at the onset of the pandemic, Dree quickly adapted by shifting her live performance schedule to Twitch, building a channel that she has since grown to a community of over 5,000 fans. 

In today's episode, Marilyn chats with Dree about her early days in the entertainment industry, how she made the pivot into music, and all things Twitch (including her gear setup and favorite plug-ins).
