EP. 10 - KATIE SKY

Hey podfriends. Apparently it's almost June, complete madness. This week I chatted to Katie Sky [https://open.spotify.com/artist/31bkgXHo67awewnmvrdsah?si=F_RTvZjuRCm29TbuBmfhGw], 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 [https://open.spotify.com/track/0covUaRE5XJpyDD1W8bV4d?si=Y8Yh70L5TeSp_tj-kozW5g] most recent single 'When We Gonna' [https://open.spotify.com/track/0covUaRE5XJpyDD1W8bV4d?si=Y8Yh70L5TeSp_tj-kozW5g]. 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!

EP. 9 - ASHA GOLD

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 [https://open.spotify.com/artist/1sXQIRMGgEwmQktIO4XpWm?si=FXVKlzSGStmiUUQxax6tug] - 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.
