Justin Hawkins Rides Again

Justin Hawkins Rides Again is where I’ll be discussing what it’s really like to be part of the lauded and loathed music industry. I'll be talking about the pitfalls of being part of this fickle business, how to navigate it, the highs and lows and what the future could hold for this volatile and beautiful art form.

There will also be interviews with incredible people who work in this industry from vocal coaches, record label bosses to real life hardcore rockstars. I want to reveal to you the nitty gritty details of what this lifestyle is actually like and the affect it has on artists - so join me every Monday, right here.

Justin Hawkins Rides Again Coming Soon!

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.

1: Addicted to Fame

Today it's all about the voice. I'm in a privileged position to be able to chat to renowned opera singer and vocal coach Elizabeth Zharoff. She has multiple degrees in music and voice from Oberlin Conservatory, Berklee College of Music and the Curtis Institute of Music.

Elizabeth started The Charismatic Voice YouTube Channel seven years ago

in an effort to focus on education and teaching voice to the masses.

She is incredibly knowledgable about how the voice works and I really

enjoyed talking to her, I learned a lot. I think you’ll find this episode really

fascinating whether or not you’re a vocalist or not. What makes a great voice? Let's find out.

2: What Makes A Voice Great? (with vocal coach Elizabeth Zharoff)

Today's episode is about performance anxiety and embarrassment. This is an issue many people face when they decide to venture out into the world as an artist and creative. I have been accused of being immune to embarrassment while on the other hand my producer Jenny May has crippling performance anxiety. We try in this episode to figure out what's going on from both our perspectives and those we admire in the industry.

3: The Problem with Performance Anxiety.

This week I spoke with rockstar Michael Starr! If you don’t know who he is, Michael Starr is the lead singer of the glam metal band Steel Panther. 

We spoke about what life as a rockstar and lead singer is like in the music industry, he tells me about the advice he wishes he received earlier in career and he discusses how he deals with life on and off stage. There are also a lot of great stories and anecdotes mixed in!

After this, make sure to check out Steel Panther's latest album on "On The Prowl" and follow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelstarr/

4: What Being A Rockstar Is Really Like (with Michael Starr)

Welcome to Justin Hawkins Rides Again…the podcast! Every week I will be discussing a theme regarding the pitfalls of the music industry. This week we wrestle with the idea of whether artists and musicians succeed more if they are considered relatable or aspirational. Does it even matter or SHOULD it even matter? We also try to figure out where I fit on that scale. Please, tell me what you think.

5: Should Artists Be Relatable Or Aspirational?!

A lot of you have been waiting for this episode. Today I'm speaking with Ren. For those of you unaware, Ren is a songwriter that has become incredibly popular over the last couple of years. His songs and videos are receiving millions of views due to his incredible storytelling. I have reacted to two his videos on this channel already, and both of them blew me away.

Check out some of his videos here: https://www.youtube.com/renmakesmusic

Thank you all for listening - I release this podcast every Monday so check back next week for a brand new episode!

6: The Ren Interview.

Welcome to Justin Hawkins Rides Again…the podcast! Every week I will be discussing a theme regarding the pitfalls of the music industry. This week we try to figure out why the music industry really is a sh*t business. What is it about being part of this so called glamourous industry that also makes it so horribly unbearable? I draw upon my own experiences from being attacked by the press to how being a creative can destroy your relationships. It’s a good one.

7: The Pitfalls Of The Music Industry.

Welcome to Justin Hawkins Rides again…the podcast. Every week I will be discussing a theme regarding the pitfalls of the music industry or speaking with an insightful guest. This week I’m joined by Pat Finnerty. Pat is a musician and also runs an incredibly popular YouTube channel where he dissects songs to understand why they, well…aren’t that great it’s called “What Makes This Song Stink”.

This is a great conversation because Pat is incredibly knowledgeable about music, songwriting and the culture that surrounds the music industry as a whole.

 

 After this, make sure to check out his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@pat_finnerty

For now, please to enjoy.

8: How NOT To Write A Song (feat. Pat Finnerty)

This week we’re taking on a big topic…THE DOWNFALL. Myself and my producer Jenny May Finn get stuck into the topic of when artists fall from grace and their reputation often destroyed. This is often referred to as being cancelled, but it’s a little more nuanced. Why and how does this happen and how do you avoid it? Jenny May proceeds to test me to see if she can trap me and instigate my DOWNFALL. Did I pass?

We want to note, or Jenny May wants to note that during this conversation she takes on the role of devil’s advocate to try and probe me using controversial topics and sensitive political rhetoric to see what could spark my downfall…please don’t misconstrue what’s she’s saying to be her own opinion, it’s not, she’s trying to test me. She didn’t enjoy spouting some of that nonsense but it was part of the game and she apologises if it comes across mean and insensitive.

9: A Lesson In Getting Cancelled.

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.
