SWT Interviews:
Cynthia Hamar aka BirdBelly
(Video Interview)

Welcome back to SWT Interviews, our video-based interview series!

In August, we debuted the series with a video interview with writer/producer Craig Schulz and director Erik Wiese about the Apple TV+ animated special Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical.

For the latest entry in the series, I interviewed Alberta, Canada-based singer/songwriter Cynthia Hamar, who recently started performing under the moniker BirdBelly. BirdBelly released its debut album, The Wind The Wood, on October 17. You can find more about the release through Alex’s Singles Spotlight feature, which sheds some spotlight on the song “Desert Khaki.”

You can watch the entire interview with Hamar on our YouTube page.
