Depressed CEO's

We sit down with Sheffield hip hop artist Matic Mouth to talk about his journey through music, life, and the influences that shaped him.

Matic shares stories from growing up in Sheffield, the impact of his mum’s guidance, and how youth clubs like The Hill helped shape his path. From hearing Snoop Dogg and Wu-Tang Clan for the first time, to writing lyrics in school books and performing on stage before ever recording a track, we explore how hip hop became his outlet.

We also discuss the evolution of hip hop culture, East Coast vs West Coast sounds, the rise of artists like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, and how Sheffield continues to influence Matic’s writing and perspective.

From wrestling promos to tumour biopsies in under an hour — this one goes everywhere. We talk about being fast-tracked onto the cancer pathway, the reality of surgery, and why sometimes laughing is easier than panicking.

Lucy Revis, a Sheffield-based musician and creative, to talk about her journey through music, touring, and community work — and how it all led to founding Tracks UK. Lucy explains how Tracks began as a small music project and grew into a free, inclusive charity supporting young people who might not otherwise have access to music education. We dive into why accessibility matters, how Tracks works with children in care and young people across South Yorkshire, and how music can genuinely change confidence, opportunity, and direction in life. We also discuss fundraising, building a sustainable future for the charity, and the real impact of seeing young artists thrive when given the right support.

Rob Nicholson returns to the podcast for the third time, and this episode is a proper catch-up on life, creativity, and everything in between. We talk about freelance anxiety in January, balancing creative work with family life, and how experience slowly replaces self-doubt. Rob shares stories from behind the camera — photographing festivals like Crossed Wires, working on emotional music videos, and collaborating with artists across Sheffield’s scene. The conversation drifts into wrestling nostalgia, modern content culture, AI in creative industries, travelling for music and food, and why helping other creatives find their voice has become such a big part of Rob’s work.

We’re joined by Victor Amadeus Kenny to talk about building his vegan beard-grooming brand Captain Mustache from the ground up. Victor shares how a mix of DIY creativity, humour, and underground culture led him to create beard oils, waxes, apparel, and even novelty products like the mustache protector — turning personality into a sustainable business. We dive into branding, selling at events, travelling with products, staying independent, and how years in music, nightlife, and creative scenes shaped the way Captain Mustache exists today.

Sheffield legend Shinobi joins us to talk about growing up in the city’s underground music scene — from sneaking into youth clubs and pirate radio, to selling thousands of DIY mixtapes recorded with socks over microphones. We dive into the rise of UK garage, grime, bassline and speed garage in Sheffield, the early days of Bluetooth sharing, under-18 raves, All Out Crew, and how tracks like Dirty Girl and the Clubs & Spades project shaped a generation locally. Shinobi opens up about being “famous in Sheffield but still working a 9–5,” the reality behind recognition, rivalry between crews, the emotional side of making honest music, and why community — not clout — kept the scene alive.

We sit down with independent artist Sam Scherdel to talk about the moment everything changed — from uploading a casual TikTok that led to hundreds of thousands of streams, to quitting paid wedding gigs, going fully independent, and finally trusting his own songs. Sam opens up about how he built his sound, the long road from playing covers to selling out shows, recording across multiple studios, working with producers like Colin Elliott, and why TikTok has completely reshaped how music is discovered. We also get into his influences (from Joe Cocker and Bruce Springsteen to Nirvana), the pressure of success, and why he still prefers intimate, stripped-back gigs alongside big “wall of sound” shows.
