SONGMAKERS

Hey podfriends. Apparently it's almost June, complete madness. This week I chatted to Katie Sky, a very talented songwriter and artist based in Bristol. We've been in a number of writing sessions together, for our own projects, for pitch and for other artists - we co-wrote Raphi's most recent single 'When We Gonna'. We chatted about persevering in the industry, early setbacks and how to manage multiple projects. The day after this episode drops we both have singles coming out - Katie is releasing 'Cracks' (which I co-wrote) and I'll be releasing 'Feel More'. Let me know what you think of those! You can find Katie on instagram @katieskymusic and across all major streaming platforms. 

Hey podfriends! I hope you're keeping well and staying sane during the extended lockdown. I got a bit ill last week (hence no episode). This week, I chatted to Asha Gold - a young Londoner who is carving out her own sound. We spoke about her childhood, releasing her debut single and what it was like to grow up as a British Asian in the creative industries. Asha also gave us a new jingle for the Flash Quiz - where she chooses between Rihanna / Beyonce, East London / West London and more. You can find Asha on instagram @ashagoldmusic and across all major streaming platforms. 

Hey podfriends! This week I chatted to Aaron Taos who is currently quarantining in Los Angeles. I'm a massive fan of Aaron's sound and wanted to dig into that a bit, exploring how he has evolved as a songwriter and performer. We also spoke about his love for fishing, the story of his first guitar and his move from New York to LA.  Hold out for the Flash Quiz, where Aaron chooses between East Coast / West Coast, The Beatles / The Stones & Kanye / Taylor. You can find him on instagram @AaronTaos and across all major streaming platforms.

Big props to Zoom for making podcast recording trouble-free during lockdown. This week I spoke to London based, Malaysia raised, artist and producer Sonn. We chatted about his transition into running an artist project, growing up in Penang, living in London and his creative process. In the Flash Quiz he decides between NSync / Backstreet Boys, Penang / London, Char Kaoy Teow / Nasi Lemak and more.

For this week's episode, I had a transatlantic conversation with Sam Setton. The New York based songwriter, artist and producer spoke to me about his new single 'I Never Lied 2 U', his childhood music memories, influences and his process. In the Flash Quiz he decides between McCartney / Lennon, melody / lyrics, Brooklyn / Manhattan and more. You can find him on instagram @samsetton and across all your favourite streaming platforms. 

Firstly, I hope you are all staying safe and healthy in these turbulent circumstances. I have found myself with a little more time to record than usual and took the opportunity to decompress by having a remote chat with Latir - a songwriter, producer, guitarist and artist based in London. We talked about his new single 'Wallflower', his influences, his entry into the industry and did a quick fire flash quiz at the end. You can find him @princelatir on instagram and across all major streaming platforms. 

A few weeks ago I sat down with Orla Gartland; a supremely talented songwriter, artist, producer and guitarist. We chatted about her most recent single 'I Go Crazy', writing for others, her journey from YouTuber to recording artist and much more. You can find her on instagram @orlagartland.

I sat down with Ayelle, an exceptionally talented songwriter and a pretty good mate, to chat about all things music. We chat about the journey of an independent artist, her writing style, building a productive team and her new single Actor - which is now available to stream across all platforms. You can find her on instagram @ayellemusic.

Earlier this month I spoke to KYLYPSO about their writing process, how they met each other, Gerard Pique and a bunch of other things. You can find them on instagram @kylypstagram.
