Ross Meets: The OMG Years

Fond Of Rudy are such a brilliantly talented 4-piece band hailing from both Brighton and London. All 4 members, Matt, Ross, Martin, Otto and Si, cleverly reconstruct sounds from 80's music and really make it their own. The songs are bright, simplistic, uplifting and carry lot's of experimental elements too. I got to speak to Matt and fellow Ross in this interview and they were so fun to speak too!...

Having the opportunity to once again interview, sit down and chat with the lovely Rachael Sage has been such a highlight of my year so far, she truly is such an inspiration. I'm in love with her energy, her passion and love for music. Last year she released, 'The Other Side, which was such a great release, a very definitive moment in her career trajectory I feel - and a very positive one at that....

Here is my interview with the lovely Allegra. I really mean that she was so lovely!! She was such a professional, but also just so passionate about her music. I love the fact that her music makes you want to get up and dance but this episode was just so fun to record. It was really short and sweet. I think her talent, her art, her look, her music all really speak for itself. Whilst she could be cl...

Here is probably my favourite interview ever; this is with Toronto based, Soph. She's just released her debut album 'F2', which I randomly came across on YouTube, I was drawn to the album cover and had a listen and was immediately hooked. The more I Iearn about Soph, honestly the more I love her, she is such a good person and such a talented artist. There's so much to be proud of in her body of wo...

Here is my second interview with music heavyweight Fraser T Smith. Future Utopia is about to drop their latest album on July 12th, which is so highly anticipated following the release of 'Looking For A Way Out (Of Del Rio)' and 'Interplanetary Signs'. This is such a genius reinvention for the band which stays so true to their core and authentic family dynamic style. Everybody is a star in Future U...

Kicking things off the right way this week, with the re-release of my interview with the brilliant Karen Harding!! This interview was recorded and released, last year around Christmas time? If I remember correctly haha. It originally aired across OMG Radio, but was never released here across streaming. But I'm so glad for this interview to be out for you, if you haven't heard it already. Karen has...

Here's my interview with the absolutely wonderful Devon Gilfillian. This interview was originally recorded on the same day as my interview with Lola Lennox and Ultrabloom. I remember it being such a hectic day and if I remember correctly, Devon had broken down on the motorway on the way to a show! I forget where he actually was at the time, but it's the first interview I've ever done in such a str...

Vince Freeman is such a warm and down to earth dude, honestly I was smiling all the way through the interview when we recorded it and was smiling the whole time while editing it. The guy is just epic, I loved hearing about his experiences throughout the music industry so far and the journey to his brand new album, 'Scars, Ghosts & Glory', which I know is going to be so good for him. Vince is h...

ALT BLK ERA's, Chaya and Nyrobi are literally just on another level. In terms of music, style, talent, you name it, and I'm telling you they're ahead of the curve. And at such a young age, both have achieved so much in their own right. Their lyrics and music whilst hard hitting and packed full of energy are so full of meaning if you go deep. Tackling lot's of different important areas that need to...

This episode is with the awe inspiring Gia Ford. What a work of art her latest release 'Poolside' is. It's been a hot minute since I was last sucked into a whole world that an artist ahs created. The whole music video is such an interesting experience, Gia's vocals and performance are so sublime. I was so lucky and privileged to speak to her. I wouldn't usually take this approach when interviewing...

Almost 1 year ago, I interviewed HIMALAYAS about their album, 'From Hell To Here', which was an absolute smash. Fast forward to present and we now have their latest single V.O.V, which is also an absolute smash. I mean the track was co-written with AC/DC’S Brian Johnson so that should tell you everything you need to know really. It was produced by Dan Lancaster at Miloco studios, who we all know i...

One year ago today, I had my second interview ever! With Brodie Milner! I was so excited for this interview, he was one of the first people, that I could really get behind and try to support, it wasn't just about his music, but also him as a person. He was so lovely on and off camera, he was so easy to talk to. I still think 'hedonist' and the 'tragicomedy' EP are both two of the best pieces of ar...

Here is my interview special, in full, with the incredibly brave and inspiring, Colin McFarlane. I first caught wind of the campaign back in October 2023, but we got set back until January of this year. This was actually quite a good thing, for me at least, I got chance to research and educate myself on the Windrush generation and the injustices that have been taking place. It really, really has u...

I feel like I've been holding on to this interview for a while now! Naylon reached out tome with her brand new single at the time, 'Man In The Moon and I thought it was a hit. For a debut on streaming, the quality of the lyricism and actual music was just brilliant and really, really took me by surprise. Naylon was so lovely to talk to and I'm so grateful and feel very privileged that she chose me...

Here's an interview from my cancelled project 'Ross Goes North'; it's with one of my favourite interviewees, Theo Bleak! She's just been on tour with the wonderful Etta Marcus! Here's the OG episode description - 'In our first episode, we unravel the captivating journey of Theo Bleak, quite possibly one of the most creative people I have been lucky enough to meet. Her music is inspiring and strong...

After interviewing Theo Bleak back in August of 2023, I was super excited to speak to Etta Marcus, who at the time of recording was on a UK wide tour with Theo. I think the two are kindred spirits and this interview, like Theo's is very close to my heart. This also took place on Etta's birthday and the release day of 'The Death Of Summer & Other Promises', which I had spent all morning listeni...

It is so hard to not be inspired by the one and only Marsha Swanson; long before there was a Madame X, there was a Madam M, and she "will show you how good it can be, with me”. What an icon honestly, I mean I literally can't speak her career up enough. I mention over on the socials that I have found a new beacon of inspiration and this is so true. It's been so uplifting exploring her career as I'v...

Here at last is my interview with Here At Last! Whenever I talk about this interview or the guys, I'm gonna have to make that joke, haha. In all seriousness how brilliant are these dudes? It's really wild for me to think back on this interview and I am once again so grateful for the Student Music Network UK for having me and featuring me on their socials! This is also my debut over on their YouTub...

Róisín Murphy's interview for me was so surreal. I literally grew up watching her on the TV when she was involved with Moloko. I just last week was lucky enough to meet her and ask her some burning questions of mine; and looking back it blows my mind! This is a great little interview revolving around her newest piece of art 'Hit Parade' which is an absolute banger of an album. Róisín is also about...

Yxngxr1 and I's interview was crazy.... and I mean that literally it was crazy! We took a huge stroll down memory lane which strangely enough was really similar for both of us! We had an absolute blast, he is hugely funny on and off camera, my face was hurting when we got off the Zoom call - Zoom which had both plagued us a lot that day, haha! But seriously, Yxngxr1's newest album 'Front Porch' is...

The Rogues began their journey back in 2021, hailing from Newport down in South Wales. The band immediately caught my eye with their fab use of social media back in Summer 2023 and I knew I had to speak to them about their career as a band so far. Usually I find it hard to connect with bands - there's a lot going on, a lot of different characters, a lot of questions and I find a lot of the emotion...

Hugmynd's interview for me, was soooo chill and relaxing on what was such a windy, cold, nightmare day! His presence was warm and open, a full creative and artist - it was a really great opportunity to speak with him! Of course he was such a down to Earth and interesting guy, whose musical style really peaked my interest. One thing that strikes me about Harry is the amount of effort that he puts i...

Interlude and introductions prior to The Rogues/Hugmynd/Yxngxr1 set of interviews.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to interview the brilliantly successful; Joel Corry. This man needs no introduction. He has collaborated and dominated all kinds of music charts, all across the world for the pats few years. He is quite possibly one of the most interesting people I've had the pleasure of sitting and speaking with. He's just dropped his brand new album 'Another Friday Nigh...

Is there a better way to kickstart this years interviews than an interview with Wheatus' own Brendan B. Brown? I don't think so! What a surreal experience this was! I was lucky enough to work with the Student Music Network UK, once again for what I think is the 3rd time? And I absolutely loved it! 2017/2018 Ross is currently somewhere throwing up because he's just met the man that partially got hi...
