ALFIE TEMPLEMAN | Turning 20, Touring Routines, and Ariel Days


Listen Later

UK indie pop artist Alfie Templeman got signed by his label at 15, and he's been with them ever since. But as he enters his 20s, he feels more pressure than he ever did as a teen. "I’ve never really had that sheer intensity that you get when you turn a certain age [until] I turned 20 this year," he told Flashlight. "It was this massive weight on me all of a sudden. As someone that's kind of known as a teenager making these songs, is it not as impressive now that I'm 20?"

On this episode of Flashlight podcast, we chat about how your place in the music industry shifts as you hit your twenties, making dreamlike-folky music as Ariel Days, and managing ADHD and burnout while touring.

This episode was recorded in New York and London in March 2023.
