Max Boyle #80

Gavn! #93

Gavn! is a folk pop artist from the Pacific Northwest who taught himself music production by watching John Bellion YouTube videos, built a following from nothing, and opened for The Fray in a Disney shirt. This is the full story. In this episode we talk about how he found his sound after years of making music that didn't feel like him, the moment he realized he was being too honest in his songs and what he changed, navigating faith-based music and why he stepped back from it, how Too Much to Ask became his biggest song, his upcoming project built around the theme of forgiveness, and why he believes the single most important thing any independent artist can have is delusion. Plus Gavn! announces a new tour coming soon, recorded here first. If you're building something from nothing and everyone around you thinks you're crazy for it, this one's for you. 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts: 🦇 New episode every Wednesday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Adam Yokum pt 2

Adam Yokum grew up in the mountains of West Virginia with no music industry connections, no blueprint, and no recording studio within two hours of his house. Today he's touring cities, dropping albums with artists he used to listen to as a college kid, and building one of the most intentional careers in independent music. This is how he got there. In this episode we talk about the spiritual awakening that changed everything, how Gretzky came together when a coworker DM'd a snippet to Mike with zero connection between them and Mike jumped on it purely off the music, the story behind his collaboration project with Ollie Joseph, and the philosophy behind Water Your Roots — his sequel to Evergreen built around maintaining growth instead of chasing it. We also get into why he prioritizes quality over quantity in both music and merch, what he'd do differently if he could start over, and why all his goals for 2026 are process-based rather than metric-based. If you're an independent artist trying to build something real from nothing — this one's for you. 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts https://youtube.com/@mr.batcave?si=TPejgfD_-JrD4m1j 🦇 New episode every Wednesday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
