Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dana Maragos
Dana Maragos is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in storytelling, tradition, and a lifelong relationship with song. Her journey began early, when her grandmother bought her a $25 guitar in Chicago’s Old Town at just six years old. Growing up on the city’s South Side, Dana learned her first chords from a teenage neighbor, singing along to the songs of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Eric Andersen. Those early influences planted the seeds for a songwriting voice built on honesty, melody, and quiet emotional strength.

Making a Scene Presents - Why Streams Don’t Build Careers (And What Actually Does)
For a long time, streaming has felt like the finish line.
You upload your music. You watch the numbers climb. You refresh your stats like they’re a scoreboard. You cross your fingers that the algorithm notices you, blesses you, and turns your song into a “moment.”
And then you wait.
