My happy place will always be talking to other musicians about music. Even with musicians I’m meeting for the first time, we start talking about music and by the end of our conversation, we’re firm friends. Which leads me on nicely to tell you about today’s guest songwriter, producer, musical di...

One of my rituals when I go to the cinema (remember the cinema? The place with the big screen where you sit in the dark next to lots of people and have a collective experience?) Well, when I go I like to sit through all the credits at the end because I’m always amazed at how many people it takes...

There are some conversations that linger - like a meal that reminds you not only of the food you ate but the people you shared it with, or a fragrance that triggers a memory - I have that with sunscreen it always transports me to being on holiday. I was speaking with an artist friend of mine ab...

I have a confession to make - I don’t really understand art! I studied languages at school, but the more you learn languages you realise that you’re really only learning the basics to get by - how to ask for directions, how to order a beer at a restaurant! That’s how I feel about art- my underst...

We owe it all to the music

Holding Up The Ladder - May 14, 2020 23:00 - 28 minutes
Bonus Episode - We owe it all to the music One of the things I love most about music isn’t just the making it, but the relationships I’ve made because of it - in fact I can’t separate the two, to me, everything is relational. The people I’ve met through music have become some of my most cherish...

If ever a discussion exemplifies why I’m so fascinated about process, the conversation you’re about to hear is it - the voice. What started as my desire to remove some of the taboos around vocal health and singing teachers (this was just meant to be a short bonus episode) turned into a far deepe...

Mpho Sebina is a singer songwriter hailing from Botswana. I discovered her music through mutual friends who’d shot some of her videos. There’s something about her voice- it’s soothing, transporting, ethereal yet grounded, full of emotion, I just love it! Hailing from Botswana, Mpho studied inte...

I like clever women, I like talking to clever women. They’re women who are curious, thinking, women who know and love themselves and because they love themselves you can hear it and see it in the work they make, continually exploring the reaches of their creativity. Singer, songwriter, cellist a...

Alev Lenz

Holding Up The Ladder - April 03, 2020 05:00 - 42 minutes
I met Alev on Instagram like many people do these days. The thing that struck me most about her before I even knew her music was her generosity - she invited me to her album launch before we’d even met in person, and from the outset has been really open, authentic and generous with her time and ...
