Ep. 5 - Eva Jade Landon

Don’t Encourage This with Marc van Bulck

Eva Jade Landon is a multi-award winning recording artist and “Best Female Pop Artist” and "Musician of the Year" nominee by the Indie Music Channel Awards and RAW Awards. She has collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer Dan Mathews and was called “the mid Atlantic’s biggest secret” by the Washington Examiner. Her new album, "Evolved," drops on October 1st.

In addition to being a recording artist, Eva identifies as a Zen Buddhist and a queer woman who is committed to the work of local interfaith dialogue. She serves as a local interfaith program director here in southwest Ohio.

Eva discusses how language and representation matter in the realm of interfaith conversations with young people, how she has navigated the complexities of queer representation in her own career in the music industry, how she thinks pop music can be effective as a form of advocacy for social justice and talks about performing at the home of magician Penn Jillette!
