Episode notes

Welcome to The Money Trench! This week, Mark sits down with visionary British artist Jack Garratt.

Jack first rose to prominence in 2016 after winning both the BBC Sound Of… poll and the BRIT’s Critic’s Choice Award, before earning a gold debut album with Phase. Almost a decade later, Garratt is back with his third album, Pillars.

Throughout their chat, the pair discuss the struggles of a modern artist, the lack of mental health support within the industry, and why streaming your favourite artists just isn’t enough anymore.
