Medium Build isn’t shy about telling hard truths and in this Breakdown, Nick dives into the deeply personal stories behind “John & Lydia”, a track bursting with family drama, 1980s nostalgia, and an emotional honesty that only he could bring you.

Sneaking homages to Billy Joel into the outro and channelling the spirit of Springsteen, he filmed the music video in the mall where his dad once sold VCRs after bankruptcy.

Nick talks about how this heavy personal history shapes his vulnerable songwriting. And of course, there’s the hilarious story of a neighbour randomly crashing his most emotionally charged studio session to just “vibe, man".

It’s crazy to think that we actually filmed the first upload for James Bay, way back in 2014, and we’ve kept the friendship with him ever since.

So when he announced The Chaos and the Calm 10 year anniversary re-release, we had to get him into the London HQ for the Breakdown.

We talked about Move Together, how Let It Go became the breakaway hit, the famous Saturday Night Live performance for the Electric Light LP, through to his collabs with Noah Kahan and the Lumineers and finally the latest LP, Changes All The Time.

It’s a joy to watch him reminisce for the first time at these historic moments.

Billie Marten and her Father, Andy, get deep and cover everything from the music that was playing in house when she was growing up in Yorkshire, to singing a record deal at the of 13, and the time that Ellen Degeneres got in touch!

With two glorious LPs under her belt, Billie is truly an artist in control of her sound which has evolved in such a beautifully organic way over the years.

Jack Savoretti is joined by his Mother, Ingrid, at his countryside cottage in Oxfordshire where they delve into how World War II impacted his grandparents, growing up in Switzerland as a kid, the very beginnings of his musical career and much more.

Jack is arguably one of the hardest working artists in the UK, with his latest album 'Singing to Strangers' becoming his first No. 1 album, followed by a headline show at Wembley Arena.
