A cup of java may boast a variety of well-documented health benefits, but curing a sore throat isn’t one of them. This goes doubly if you’re a singer: maintaining your natural instrument is as crucial as a guitarist periodically visiting a luthier.

South Korean singer LeeHi clearly had this in mind while filming her episode of Herbal Tea & White Sofas, GRAMMY.com’s series where musicians reveal what’s on their riders.

Watch LeeHi Reveal The Magic Of Throat Coat

“There’s a tea called Throat Coat — someone gave it to me when I was on tour,” she tells GRAMMY.com. “I drank it when I lost my voice, and it was really effective.”

Aside from vocal health, LeeHi also praises the deliciousness of fried jokbal and the mindset that helps her have a great show.

In the latest episode of Herbal Tea & White Sofas, get to know LeeHi better via her backstage rituals — then take a listen to her latest album, 2021’s 4 Only.

Alt-rock singer/songwriter LP will be the first to admit that she forgets to eat enough before shows. But she’s found a brilliant go-to in good old peanut butter.

"If you take like two spoonfuls of peanut butter — you gotta follow it with a bunch of water — you’ll be good," the New York native says with a laugh. "Emergency food, you know?"

LP’s "Emergency Food" That Gets Her Through Shows

Peanut butter and water are two things LP always needs backstage, as she explains in the below video. While she stresses the importance of staying hydrated, she’ll make an exception for particular locations — vodka in Russia, wine in Italy.

In the latest episode of Herbal Tea & White Sofas, let LP take you on a tour of her backstage consumables and provide a bird's-eye view of what performers need while on the road.

Check out the quirky clip above and check below for more episodes of Herbal Tea & White Sofas.

When imagining a studio session with a highly successful musician like Andrew Watt, also known as WATT, chances are you picture the "anything goes" energy of Project X. But according to the GRAMMY-winning producer, his studio time is more Survivor-meets-Dr. Dolittle.

"You kind of have to look at yourself like an athlete," WATT says of his music mindset. "Don't eat heavy things because you're using your brain all day."

Watch below to see what other studio advice WATT offers up in the newest episode of Herbal Tea & White Sofas.

WATT On Keeping An Athlete Mindset In The Studio

Whether it's his strict no-alcohol stance or his pet-friendly attitude, the superproducer seems to have found the key to success in the studio: He's worked with megastars like Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus and Post Malone, and in 2021, he won the GRAMMY for Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards.
