About this episode
Our guest today is up-and-coming pop star McKenna Michels . An operatically trained vocalist with modern sensibility, McKenna’s music grapples with the human condition and the complexities that accompany being an autistic, bisexual woman. McKenna joins Troy and Pauly to discuss her musical origin story, retaining genuineness while incorporating lore and fantasy elements into her music, and more. McKenna recently wrapped a European tour, and has new releases and shows planned throughout 2025. Follow @McKennaMichelsMusic on social media and visit McKennaMichelsMusic.com to stay in-the-know!
