Meet young Ajay Jameson – for those that don’t know, he’s about to take the music world by storm. Signed to Sony Music India and with his Canadian soulful sound combined with South Indian flavor, he absolutely represents the multi-cultural musical movement that’s going on all over the world. If K-Pop can do it ... why cant that K stand for Kerala?

This guy is a true gem and not only that ... he’s single and can cook a mean chicken curry!

For anyone making music, trying to find “their sound” or their own style, this podcast is for you. Ajay is doing just that and even though he’s signed to a major label, he’s happy to admit he’s still working it all out!

An honest and open chat with a talented young man – here is Ajay Jameson.

Mike Fairclough is an author and Headteacher. But to call him that after the conversation you’re about to hear, would be somewhat of a cop-out! I thought we were going to talk about his “alternative” teaching approaches or even the fact that he is married to a Sikh Panjabi lady (I was gonna ask him if he knew any Panjabi MC songs!)

But the conversation instantly went deeper into spirituality, life, death, and seeing the “light” in people.

I know this guy has made headlines by being inspirational – but he’s also made me talk about things I’ve never done before and I can't help but think this is one of those podcasts that’ll make you take a step back from your own life and ask yourself what you’re really all about and what you really want from it all.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

King Richard is the brand new film out today starring Will Smith and two young talents who play the roles of Venus and Serena Williams (Demi Singleton & Saniyya Sidney).

I was invited to attend the virtual press conference for the film which centres around the father of these two tennis megastars! 

The film is flippin awesome! It’s inspirational! And it got me thinking about what I’m like as a Dad and how hard (or not) you should push your kids! 

So in this episode of the podcast I’m thinking and talking out loud about my role as a father while I play you some moments from the press conference. 

Go see the film! You won’t regret it!

Desi Central is comedy phenomenon – set up by the man you’re about to hear from (Altaf) it has grown into a global brand and for all the right reasons. Altaf is the magic behind the company – he loves comedy and more so than that, he cares about his comedians. The guy drives all over the country with his acts, he supports them mentally and makes working with Desi Central a whole lot of fun. He was THE reason I got on stage to do comedy and although he shy’s away from praise, I took this moment to thank him but also talk about the British Asian / Black comedy circuit and what his ultimate line up would be.

Ammy Virk and Karan Aujla are two giants of the Punjabi music industry. They pack out concert halls all over the world. That was no different at the Coca-Cola arena in Dubai. I caught up with them both before the show, where I was hosting!

Babatunde Aleshe is a stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and all-around nice guy! We caught up while I was out in Dubai in a noisy arena lobby waiting to host an event. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to talk to him about, amongst other things, comedy, parenthood, and Gogglebox.  I also prepared him for his first Asian wedding experience!

Navneeth Krishna is an Indian cricket presenter and the host of ‘RCB 12th Man’. We caught up about the IPL, T20WC, and the Virat Kohli-shaped hole that’s about to be left in the RCB IPL side next season.

Jatin Sapru is a man of many talents and a cricket fan like no other. In this conversation, he talks about his journey, as well as India's campaign in the World Cup and what lies ahead for Team India. 

We are also joined by the one and only Nikhil Arora, the MD of GoDaddy India, as we discuss the mentality of an elite sportsperson and how we can learn from it and apply the lessons we learn in both business and life.

Hyde Panaser is a stand-up comedian from the UK with who I’ve shared a stage countless times! He’s not only a funny bloke but a genuine guy with a real love for his craft and great nature. Hyde’s the kinda comedian that’s always giggling away backstage before a show as well as tearing it up on stage. I wanted to have him on to sure the kind of conversation and laughs we have when we are in a show together. If you have never seen him on stage do his thing, you gotta check him out! 

Here is my beautifully bearded brother!

Siddhant Bhosle is a Mumbai-based singer, songwriter, and musician. His music can be best described as a blend of International Pop/ R&B with Indian influences. His father, a veteran Bollywood playback singer, Sudesh Bhosle, is known best for his songs sung for Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, and his mother is a pianist because of whom he was exposed to pop structures and sounds of western music.

We had a great catch-up about the industry and the future of combined genres in Indian music!
