Muni Long sits down for a game of Switching Gears, revealing all of her songwriting secrets and studio preferences — including whether she’s a sweet or salty treat girl. 

Muni Long:
Hey, y’all, it’s Muni Long here, and I’m gonna spill my songwriting secrets in 60 seconds of This or That.

What is your preferred prerecording ritual? My preferred prerecording ritual is meditating. Meditating is super important for me to just clear out my ears. I like to be as authentic as possible.

When do you like to record? I like to record at night. My voice is a little raspy right when I wake up. You don’t want that.

What kind of vibe do you like in the studio? Essentials only. I get very irritated if there’s distractions — too many bodies, people talking while I’m trying to record.

Extracurricular activities? No, get out.

What kind of treats do you prefer in the studio? I prefer sweet treats in the studio, mostly fruit. I don’t really do, like, junk food.
