444 Dust joins Target Talk for one of our favorite conversations to date. She talks about growing up in Dallas, where the name came from, and how her early love for journaling and writing slowly turned into music. From working as a preschool teacher to finally releasing that first record, she opens up about the nerves, the leap of faith, and what it felt like putting herself out there.

 

We get into Honeymoon, the deeply personal cover art featuring her grandparents, and why that image meant so much before the first note even plays. Dust shares what performing feels like now, how her performing arts background shows up on stage, and what a normal creative day looks like for her. She even flipped the script and put us in the hot seat. This one felt real, honest, and different.
