Introducing the absolute superstar who is... BEKA. Beka and I met at the 2021 'Drake Yolanda' Funding final and I was immediately drawn to her as a person, and then I heard her sing and I was well and truly obsessed.
BEKA has had such an impressive career, collaborating and touring with Honne to her first single (released in 2020) getting track of the week on BBC Radio 1. We talk how she got there, how she build her amazing team, and she shares a brilliant industry secret tip that I've been using ever since.

In this episode I am joined by very own manager, Ben Price (Harbourside Management).
I first met Ben around 8 years ago through a singing competition I was in and he was one of the judges. We eventually started working together back in 2019 and I became of the first artists he signed under 'Harbourside Management' when he launched the company in 2021.
In this episode we go into when is the right time for an artist to seek management, the many different roles managers play and what red flags to look out for in bad managers.
Ben was also really candid with me by talking openly about his non-visi ..read more

Kicking off Series 2 of the podcast is fellow busker and good friend, Charlotte Campbell.
If you've ever been in London and wandered down the Southbank, you'll have probably come across Charlotte busking underneath the London eye. I knew she would be the best person to have on the podcast to talk about all things busking.
We talk about how to start busking, what gear to use, what pitches you can play (with and without licences) and so much more.
We also go into Charlotte's original career and how she dealt with the backlash she received after getting her cover of Mr Brightside played on ..read more

This week I am joined by Irish based Singer/Songwriter, Megan O'Neill.
We touch on ageism and sexism in the industry, the pros and cons of having a publishing deal, successfully changing genres, art vs. content, PR, irish radio… Megan is also a tutor and course creator at ICMP so she has a real understanding of the business side of things. There is some really great advice in this episode and I only wish I could have spoken more with her because she is just a bucket of knowledge and I loved getting her unique perspective of the industry.

For the very last episode of Season 2, we talk about music distribution. My special guest is the lovely Rupert Stroud who is the Artist & Label Partnership Representative for 3Tone Music (my current distributor).

There are loads of distributors out there and we talk about some of the pros and cons of them, what distributors can offer artists in terms of DSP playlist pitching and other fun stuff like getting you verified on social ..read more

Joining me on this episode is the amazing Christina Hizon, who goes by the name of Tina Keys. Tina is an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist who has played for the likes of Ed Sheeran, Clean Bandit, Roger Taylor, Becky Hill... but I think most notoriously Maisie Peters.
Right after this episode Tina jetted off to the US to tour with Maisie and will be on the road until SEPTEMBER so I am so glad I could catch her in time to record this. We had a brilliant chat about the live industry, how to create a click track, the 'secret' of how to get repeatedly booked for gigs with A List artists an ..read more
