S2 E6 - HANNIE (Female Pop Duo)

S2 E6 - HANNIE (Female Pop Duo)

Chances are, you've heard of Hannah and Annie of 'HANNIE'. Chances are you've caught their videos on Instagram. Chances are you were jealous of their dress sense and talent too, like me. HANNIE are a two piece girl pop duo. They are super authentic, great fun to hang out with and really honest people to talk to. But they're also immensely good at what they do. Both knowing their instruments inside and out, they are in demand as session players constantly, but prefer to play and self produce their own music instead. They have their hands in the business game too. Organising brand deals, sponsored posts, and receiving equipment from every major manufacturer going. Chuffed to have pinned these two down for an hour, thanks so much to Hannah and Annie

S2 E7 - Luna Bay (Indie Rock Band)

Luna Bay contains four of my favourite individuals. Meeting at BIMM London, kicking off their career with label meetings after one show and only writing one song. Since then they've gone on to tour extensively, headlining a sold out Scala the week prior to this recording. They are endlessly humble and a really good bunch of guys, Thanks to Alex, Connor, Sammy and Rye, and enjoy the final true episode of Season 2.

S2 E5 - Sam Lees (Set Carpenter, Lighting Technician, Photographer, Film Maker)

I don't love name dropping, but it's inevitable with Sam. Stormzy, Dave, Fall Out Boy, The Spice Girls, Ella Eyre and Take That have all relied on this guests abilities as a set carpenter and lighting technician. He has toured extensively with bands capturing their shows and filming their music videos. And travel isn't just a hobby for Mr Lees, it's basically his job.  Taking time to head to some of the most heartbreaking conflict zones in the world of his own volition, Sam makes it his job to photograph and share the stories of some of the most vulnerable people on the planet.  Oh, and he's still in his twenties.

S2 E4 - Jonny Hockings & Mackenzie Jamieson (Pop Producers & Songwriters)

Jonny and Mack are prolific, and have become absolute staples of the London pop scene. They both started as session guitarists before moving into writing and production. These days, Jonny is sporting a platinum record to his name in Sweden, with Mack assisting some of the biggest producers in the game. This was a real laugh and a pleasure to record, these guys are absolute champs

S2 E3 - Mike O'Connor (Videographer & Filmmaker)

From music videos, to the Beckhams, to dangling out of the back of a chinook with a camera, this weeks guest has done it all.  After dropping out of Film school after just a year, he started his company, NiftyFiftyFilms and has since had huge success filming for Superyacht companies, luxury watch brands and Harry Kane. I can't sum up this artists work in a paragraph, but that gives you a sample. Aside from this, Mike is incredibly creative elsewhere, writing poetry and photographing seemingly insignificant scenes in the most beautiful ways. His view of the world and of life is admirable, and I learnt a lot about myself and my priorities while recording this.
