Come with me in Part 1 of 4, as we begin our journey with the incredible story of Kurt Cobain beginning with his upbringing in the gloomy, logging town of Aberdeen, Washington. But as a child Kurt was described as a happy, loving and energetic child until his world was turned upside down by the divorce of his parents. Together we will explore in a great deal of depth what led Kurt to becoming a musician, his relationship with the Melvins and Tracy Miranda, how he formed the band Nirvana and we take a look at the meaning behind the songs on Nirvana's debut album Bleach including About A Girl, Negative Creep and more. Along with the many struggles Kurt endured on his path to success such as bullying, brushes with the law and dealing with his parents neglect resulting in Kurt becoming homeless. There is so much jam packed in this epic episode, so make sure you check it out.
Catch Part 2 of Kurt's story as we enter the Nevermind album era, Nirvana feud with Guns N' Roses and Kurt falls for the controversial Courtney Love.

This week we explore the first of two chapters on the life and career of Prince. We take an in depth look at his childhood years and the moments that shaped him as a person and as a musician as he faces a number of physical, mental, financial and racial barriers growing up to releasing his debut album at just the age of 19. The highly talented multi-instrumentalist would go on to produce, write and play all the instruments on his first 5 albums, striking controversy due to his outrageous fashion sense, outlandish stage persona, his high falsetto vocals and his sexually explicit lyrics that often came under scrutiny. Prince would forge an image of his own by the mid 80's with his breakthrough album 1999 and his highly successful Purple Rain film, soundtrack and single cementing him as a household name and a star of the music industry.
We take a look at Prince's first 6 albums as well as exploring the meaning behind the lyrics as we take a look at songs such as I Wanna Be Your Lover, When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy, Purple Rain, The Beautiful One's, Little Red Corvette, 1999, I Would Die 4 U, Uptown, Controversy and many more.
Tune in to Part 2 of Prince's story as well as we explore the second half of Prince's career and the death of one of the greatest musicians to ever grace the stage.
