Thanks to his brother and sister grentperez — the Aussie-Filo singer born Grant Perez — first appeared on YouTube singing covers at just five-years-old, but while his siblings eventually left singing behind (beyond family karaoke, obviously), the 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist became a full blown bedroom tender-pop sensation. “Cherry Wine” popped off in 2021 and after releasing four tantalizing EPs, now we have his eclectic, silky-smooth debut LP Backflips in a Restaurant. It’s a record that blends 90s R&B, bossanova, a pinch of indie-pop, and a lot of romanticism. Hanni from New Jeans keeps covering his songs and Rex Orange County is also a fan. He joins us in the studio for the first time for a wide-ranging conversation that takes in driving simulators, anime, how his girlfriend of five years introduced him to stick n poke and public transport (!), and we course out his album — see what we did there? Plus his mullet, Toyotas, living with his parents, the fact that he’s actually incredible at drawing, his fave kind of SPAM, and how excellent he is at imitating a trumpet, saxophone, or any brass instrument you care to name… with just his mouth.P.S.

Michelle Zauner — aka the creative powerhouse known to the world as Japanese Breakfast — joins us in the studio for the first time ever to talk about her fourth, Blake Mills-produced LP, For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women). A florid and fantastical record, it’s peppered with literary references and sharp observances with regards to both the world and Zauner’s own experiences achieving her wildest dreams in 2021. It was the year both her third album, Jubilee, became a critical and commercial smash, while her memoir Crying in H Mart, chronicling the loss of her mother to cancer, became a New York Times bestseller. (The film adaptation is currently on ice, sadly.)We discuss all this plus, Zauner moving to Korea to immerse herself in the culture and learn the language for an entire year, her romance and marriage to her guitarist Peter, anxiety, work ethic, and rigor, incels and the manosphere, reconnecting with her estranged dad, and the art of reading the room. Plus stay tuned to find out more about that one time her and her pal auditioned for The Amazing Race, and why cold mozzarella sticks were involved.

There have been some tectonic shifts in Maren Morris’ life since her last album in 2022: she released her EP Intermission, contributed a couple songs to The Wild Robot, not to mention finalizing her divorce, coming out as bisexual, and exploring dating — and dating apps — and all the experiences that come with that; all of which we discuss. Singing since she was in her teens, the 35-year-old Arlington, Texas-born artist also talks about her early years in the business, auditioning for various reality TV talent shows before going her own way, making it big first in the country space with 2016’s “My Church,” and then becoming a crossover star with songs like Zedd’s 2018 smash “The Middle” and her own “The Bones.”Returning with her fourth LP Dreamsicle — where she worked with the likes of Naomi McPherson from MUNA, Jack Antonoff, and Joe Little to name a few — she opens up about the life changes that inspired this new batch of songs, such as the cheeky “Bed No Breakfast,” plus healing mushroom trips, reparenting her inner child, Dolly Parton, The Highwomen (her supergroup with Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, and Amanda Shires), the crazy backstory behind “The Middle,” and so much more.Stream "Dreamsicle" ►► https://marenmorris.lnk.to/DREAMSICLESUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s been a wild 18 months for Tucker Wetmore, a former college football star turned country hopeful who moved to Nashville hoping to make it… and then he actually did, and in a big, big way, to the tune of roughly eight million monthly Spotify listeners. Before last year he’d never even played live, and how he’s hitting the road with Thomas Rhett. The 25-year-old joins us in the studio for the first time to fill us in on how a small-town, Pacific-Northwest-born, grandson of a pastor wound up turning from sports to music (it involves a leg broken in three places), and how writing songs almost every day from 2019 to 2024 finally paid off. We also find out the meaning of “looking like wine in a truckbed,” why whiskey and women (blonde or brunette, 5’5”) remain abiding sources of inspiration, collaborating with his friends, and the story behind the vulnerable title track from his debut LP What Not To. Plus we tackle the big question about hats and whether Zach should grow a mullet.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

PinkPantheress first emerged at the very tail-end of 2020, becoming a TikTok phenom in early 2021 thanks to songs like the Adam F-sampling "Break It Off" and the Sweet Female Attitude-sampling "Pain;" songs which never breached two minutes — and still don’t — capped off my PP’s candyfloss sweet vocals. No one knew who she was. Fast-forward to now and PinkPantheress has since been revealed as 24-year-old Beverly Walker, and the Bath-born, Canterbury-raised singer and self-taught producer whose back catalog includes her 2021 mixtape To Hell With It, 2022’s EP Take Me Home, and her flawless 2023 debut album Heaven Knows. Meanwhile her career-making turn of having Ice Spice jump on the plinkety dance-pop of “Boy's a liar Pt. 2” means PinkPantheress is an international, chart-bothering concern. She joins us in the studio just ahead of her set at Coachella to talk about all this — including how she got together with Ice Spice — plus what takes place at PinkPantheress HQ, her love of emo, Kpop, jungle, and drum ‘n’ bass. And the freedom of going back to basics with her new, epic mixtape Fancy That, which mines UK big beat and late 90s dance / pop — from Basement Jaxx to Groove Armada, Underworld to Just Jack to the Sugababes.She also discusses overcoming stage fright, OCD, drug deals gone wrong, Subway sandwiches, working with The Dare, the aborted Olivia Rodrigo tour, the awesomeness of Lily Allen, and so much more.Stream "Fancy That" ►►https://tinyurl.com/3jwmbj4bSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Songwriters and actors Aly & AJ join us for the third time to discuss their new, sixth album Silver Deliverer, a record the sister-duo created in the hills of Laurel Canyon and those LA, Fleetwood Mac, sunshine and sadness vibes certainly permeate the collection… a collection they actually wrote and recorded while Aly was pregnant with her first kid. We discuss all that plus, their experience surviving a shooting while on tour and how that inspired both their activism and the song ‘Sirens,’ how maturation and loss informed some of their most potent new cuts, and what happened to their MTV reality show, back when they were teenagers and fresh from their Disney success. And speaking of which, we get the tea on Aly turning down the role of Hannah Montana, take a look back on 20 years of Into the Rush, and what are the fashion trends from the 2000s we should bring back or bury forever.

The prolific South Memphis rapper returns after with his fourth LP Glockaveli, joining us in the studio for the first time ever. Still only 27, Glock started rapping in high school, before making waves back in 2017 signing to his cousin Young Dolph’s Paper Route Empire. Since then, as well as the four albums, he’s released seven mixtapes including two with Young Dolph, who was tragically gunned down in 2021. Glock opens up about Dolph as an ongoing presence in his life — along with God — not to mention the music with the both of them that sits in the vaults. But primarily we dive into his new record: his songwriting process, signing to a major, and his desire to smash preconceptions. Not to mention the effect of becoming a father to a little girl, being raised by women, the story behind new songs ‘Hallelujah,’ ‘The Grinch,’ and the beauty of Erykah Badu’s work. Oh, and the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, plus much more.
