Jake is joined by all-round musician, producer, instrumentalist and songwriter and event host Joe White for this next episode. They talk about huge career moments like playing Radio 1's Big Weekend with his band Youth Club, getting started in music using EJAY and Cubase at school and playing random gigs to agents like one time in a random Korean chicken restaurant!

Joe is from Southend, Essex and has built a respected and trusted profile for being an accomplished producer of indie, dance, and house music, as well as being a talented multi-instrumentalist. Those skills set the foundation of diving into lots of different projects but also helped build Youth Club with members like Lydia Kitto (now of Jungle) & Phil Blake (now of Nothing But Thieves); the band that changed everything for Joe and his bandmates.

Nowadays, he uses his experience in music and the industry to support upcoming artists and the grassroots of his local scene in Essex, London & Kent. This includes putting on Bass nights, as well as local summer festivals showcasing local artists in local venues. His content creation also catches attention, reviewing music and showing passion for his local scene!
