Paige Galdieri: I came out the womb with jazz hands

When someone can make you laugh, hit a note, and quietly diagnose why your last post flopped… you listen.

This week, Ilse sits down with multi-hyphenate menace (compliment) Paige Galdieri — a performer who moves between comedy, music, and acting like it’s nothing, while also helping other artists figure out their digital voice behind the scenes. We get into her musical theater origin story (yes, it involves jazz hands at birth), the very real fear that keeps creatives stuck, and what it actually means to find your way back to joy when performing starts to feel like pressure instead of play.

There’s also a haunted dorm situation, a possibly vengeful ghost cat, and a family movie test that determines whether you’re allowed to stay. Naturally.

Plus, Paige teases her new single Trigger Happy and the very specific kind of crush that inspired it.

Follow Paige on IG @paigegaldieri and keep an eye out for Trigger Happy dropping April 15.
