In the first full episode of DRMPOD, we sit down with the soulful Omega Levine — singer, songwriter, former frontman of Parachute Band, and all-round beautiful human. Trying to understand why he is on his journey and how he got there.

This is a raw, honest kōrero about identity, burnout, creative block, self-love, faith, and the wild ride from small-town New Zealand to international stages — and back again. Omega opens up about childhood scars, people-pleasing, coming home to himself, and why music has always been his therapy.

It’s funny, heartfelt, and a reminder that healing isn’t linear — but doing “the thing” is worth it.

🎧 Topics include:

• Inner voices & imposter syndrome

• Growing up a pastor’s kid

• Stepping away from the spotlight

• Reconnecting with music

⚡This one’s for the creatives, the over-thinkers, the ones still figuring it out.
