Kate Hudson

My half siblings.

My cousin, Sarah Hudson, amazing songwriter.

Writes a ton of big pop songs.

And...

And as a young girl, I grew up in my house and where I grew up with my mom and my stepdad, Kurt.

I had a very different relationship to music than what the house offered, right?

So like I didn't grow up in a house where like there was a ton of vinyl and we were like listening to, you know, a ton of different albums or records, you know, or who, you know, like how my kids grow up where they're just exposed to so much music.

Our house was, you know, filled with music but in a different way.

So my discovery and my connection to music always felt different than like it came from somewhere else.

So it was very early on I knew very clearly it was my Hudson side.

Yeah, I mean, I had to write music.

Like, I'd sit in my room for hours, and I'd, like, rewrite lyrics to other people's songs.

Who were the artists that you loved the most?

I'm a music fan, so...

It's not just one.

I didn't have one inspiration growing up.

But it would go – it would span anywhere from – I remember buying my first Ella Fitzgerald box set to Hank Williams box set to Jimi Hendrix to De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest to Radiohead to –

Belinda Carlile to the Go-Go's.

I mean, it's all over.

The Cure.
