Today, I have the absolute pleasure of welcoming the extraordinary singer-songwriter Tori Kelly. With a voice that is as unmistakable as it is breathtaking, Tori’s artistry is matched by her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering faith.  Fresh from the 2025 Grammys, we dive into a heartfelt conversation about love, life, and the role of faith in her journey. Our conversation begins with a moment of reflection—thinking back to when we saw each other at the O2 and began dreaming up an evening of cooking together.

One of his creations is his Natural Machines project which we talk about in this conversation. And at the end of this podcast, there is an improvisation which we created together using Dan’s FarPlay app, which enables musicians to play together in real-time despite being thousands of miles apart!
