This isn’t your usual polished podcast… In this special live episode, I opened the floor to YOUR questions, shared behind-the-scenes stories, and let the conversation flow completely unfiltered. We dug into everything from:
👉 Gigging (even if music isn’t your full-time job)
👉 Pre-show rituals and post-show habits (the good AND the bad)
👉 Rejection, resilience, and staying confident on stage
👉 Touring, West End pit work, and building a sustainable music career
👉 Silly hypotheticals (yes, including unicorns 🦄 vs dragons 🐉)
This is raw, honest, and totally in the moment — the kind of episode you can’t script.
