Sub Pop Records is still the most totemic symbol of alternative music, 35 years after it was first formed by Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman in Seattle. 

It’s roster over the years is like being a kid in a sweet shop – Mudhoney, Dwarves, Hole, J Mascis, Sleater-Kinney, The Mary Chain, Moor Mother, The Vaselines…..oh, and a band that never quite made it…..I think they were called Nirvana. I don't suppose anyone's heard of them……

Megan Jasper started as an intern back in September 1989 and has been the CEO since 2016. It's a real honour and privilege to get such great insights from Megan and to hear her own take on  some of the themes I've been hearing from the artists.

We're talking about growing up a punk misfit, her love of music, jumping in the deep end and dealing with the joy, excitement and stress of the early, chaotic days of Sub Pop, the importance of values in your work, the emotional intelligence needed in her job and life generally and how to maintain resilience and mental health.
