Matt and I are nothing if not inconsistent, and today we are a day late on releasing this week's episode, which means we are consistently inconsistent. Oxymorons aside, I'm delighted to introdue this week's willing participant: Joel Pott - Pop star front man and co-writing ubermensch.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Joel for about 20yrs and am very grateful to him for, amongst other things, trying the Little Chopper proto and buying Little Chop 002 off the back of that, and having me out on tour with Athlete with a couple of bands I played in.
This episode covers early life, musical development, the wax and wain of pop stardom, and the tricky early path into co-writing with the likes of London Grammar, Ellie Goulding and of course George Ezra. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this episode.
