Today’s guest is the incredible Mark Murdoch, founder of Mahogany a multi-faceted music company which is behind the hugely popular Mahogany Sessions on YouTube, famed for its live acoustic sessions with amazing singers in phenomenal locations that include artists fields, warehouses, cemeteries, churches. All these acoustic sessions are filmed with beautiful cinematography making the experience even more enthralling. I am not exaggerating when I say this channel got me through the pandemic.

We discussed the adversity he overcame as a child trying to find his way in the world, how music saved him and led him on this wonderfully enriching career journey which has brought joy to so many millions whilst also empowering the very creatives that could have been left behind during the pandemic lockdowns.

This is one of my favourite conversations - honest, open, vulnerable, inspiring, heart warming. But before we get into it, here’s a quick word about today’s sponsor.
