Headliner Radio

In this podcast we chat to Thom and Alisa from New Zealand-based indie electronic act, The Naked And Famous, about their musical journey so far, making a new album, and how their recording process changed completely after the success of their platinum-selling breakthrough hit, Young Blood. 

We chat to revered guitarist, songwriter and producer Andy Sneap about his musical journey so far: In 2018 he joined Judas Priest on the road as touring guitarist, and he even produced their latest record. Andy's made his mark on more than 100 albums, and has a serious reputation in the metal music scene.  

We chat to German pianist and musician Lambert (he feels ‘composer’ is far too lofty a term) about his career so far, including recently missing out on his debut US tour due to lockdown. We talk about his unique masked persona, and catch up about all things piano and composition.

We chat to acclaimed British songwriter, Barry Blue, about his extraordinary career so far. He started out as a bit of a pop star, then realised he was more at home writing numbers for other artists, which led to some great successes. But most recently, he's dived into his back catalogue (with a twist or two) and compiled a brand new solo record. He's not worried about selling millions, it's all about getting his songs sounding the way he always wanted them to. 

We chat to Aviram Saharai, one half of Israeli psytrance music duo, Vini Vici, from his home in Brazil to find out how switching to remote living has impacted the artist's creative process - and how constant communication and a consistency in audio monitoring has helped maintain a top quality workflow during lockdown, despite the fact he and his musical partner, Matan Kadosch, are unable to see each other, therefore are collaborating from opposite sides of the equator.

In this Headliner USA podcast we speak to the super talented Scarlet Rivera - member of the legendary Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Revue Band, and singer-songwriter in her own right, with a great new record. We chat about a chance meeting with Dylan which ended up being totally life changing, and find out more about her songwriting process while playing a few of her new original tracks.

In this Aspiring Headliner podcast with QSC, we chat to talented Spanish songwriter and producer, Gizmo Varillas, whose dedication to engineering and producing his own music at home has led to some seriously standout work. We discuss his musical journey so far, and talk about the key factors of being an independent artist. 

In this Emerging Headliner podcast we chat to talented Australian artist, Sam Fischer, who should be touring with Nile Horan right now - but like every other performer on the planet, is currently on musical lockdown. We chat about how a struggle in Los Angeles resulted in him penning mega-hit, This City, and we play his latest single, The Usual, out today (Friday 31st July) which he's hoping will gain similar traction. 

Johnny Hates Jazz experienced huge success in the 80s with massive hits like Shattered Dreams and Turn Back the Clock. After 20 years without speaking to one another, members Clark Datchler and Mike Nocito reunited in 2009, and in 2020 have returned stronger than ever with brand new album, Wide Awake. Clark reflects on what makes a ‘great song’, and why music has to not only be relevant to its time, but the future as well.

It's difficult to overstate both the success and subsequent influence of German-born British composer, Max Richter. In this podcast we chat to Max about his classical, conservatoire music education, scoring huge TV & film projects, and the years he has spent experimenting and finding his sound out of his ultra-compact studio setup - not to mention his inspiring eight-hour long live concerts to an audience who, quite literally, are in bed asleep for the duration.
