Justin Hawkins

Justin Hawkins Rides Again

We're back again this week with the ultimate questions "Originality VS Success". Can you have both as an artist? Do you sacrifice originality in pursuit of success? What is it that makes songs successful? Is it even originality? Let's discuss. I'm joined by my producer Jenny May Finn.

35: Is It Impossible to be Original?

Today I am joined by the legendary Rick Astley! It was such a joy to speak to him about music, the music industry and life in general. What a fantastic musician and music lover. I hope you enjoy it. 

Produced by Jenny May Finn.

Recorded at Sessions Arts Club, London.

34: The Rick Astley Interview.

Today is all about fans and fandom or rather I like to call them "music enthusiasts". How do you navigate this world when you start garner attention and people start becoming actual "fans" of you and your work. What are the ups and downsides to it and why is there such a negative connotation with being called a "fan" in the first place? Let's discuss.

31: It's Happening.

The music industry is notoriously known for drugs and artists developing issues with addiction, rehabilitation and even tragedies. I generally refuse to discuss my experience and past regarding this issue with the press, as I feel they are only looking to sell papers when they ask. So, today, I'm going to try and talk about it here. Why do musicians fall into this drug taking habit and how does it effect them as artists and if they do stop, how do they cope with life afterwards?

29: Myles Kennedy: The Pre-eminent Rock Vocalist of our Time!

Today I'm debating whether or not elitism has any role to play in music, culture and the music business? Should we feel shame for the music we listen to? I'm here with my producer Jenny May Finn who is taking the role of what we might think somebody who listens to more "mainstream" music might feel. What do you think? Am I just a snob or am I right?

28: I'm an Elitist Snob.

What is the life of a frontman of a cult band like? What does working in the music industry look like for people like that? Well today I'm speaking with arguably the best frontman in the industry right now, Eric Nally of Foxy Shazam. Some of you may recognise him for his collaborations with Macklemore. He is incredibly talented and he's had an interesting career.

27: “I Don’t Know How I’m Still Alive”

Collaboration is key to working in the music industry. What does the art of collaboration look like when it's broken down? What are the dos and don'ts? The good and the bad things about it? Tell me your experience with collaborating, do you have any horror stories? Or tell me the best person you ever worked with! I'm joined again by my producer Jenny May Finn and this time we're filmed by Bobby from Bad Nerves!

26: My Advice, Don't Be A D*ck.

Today's episode is about an issue some artists have when they become addicted to fame and the high of performing. What effect does this have on their lives off stage? Is it detrimental to their state of mind? How do you deal with the come down? We will be extrapolating from an interview James Hetfield, the frontman of Metallica did where he admitted that he struggles with this and I'll explain how I combat this issue.
