Musician Dani Nash splits her time between being an in-demand touring drummer for some of Canada's top artists with her own career as a singer-songwriter. She talk to Will about the writing process for her new singles Ordinary Love and Anything at All, how being a drummer first influences her songwriting process, Madonna's influence on her when she was growing up outside of Toronto, and how playing an arena can be easier than a club show.
