In the latest episode of The Musician's Journey, hosts Chelsea Szabo and Jed Elliott welcome the marvellously talented Jake Roche.

Known for his meteoric rise to fame with the band Rixton, Jake's journey is anything but ordinary.

His journey is a testament to the complexities of fame and early success. At just 22, he experienced the whirlwind success of a number one record, global tours, and living at Ed Sheeran's house. However, the rapid ascent came with its own set of challenges. When the band was dropped by their label and management, Jake found himself questioning his identity and purpose.

From the moment the episode begins, Jake's charisma and humor are evident. He shares the story behind his new one-man show, "Neporrhoids," which will be showcased at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The show is a raw and honest portrayal of his life, capturing both the meteoric rise and devastating fall of his career. As Jake puts it, the show is about "what we inherit from our parents, whether that's nepotism or hemorrhoids."

For young musicians and creatives, Jake's story is both inspiring and cautionary. He emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and not getting caught up in the superficial aspects of fame.

Tune in to hear Jake Roche's full story and discover the magic behind his new one man show "Neporrhoids". It's an episode filled with laughter, insights, and a whole lot of heart.
