London-based Matt Wilkinson first bubbled up as a writer and editor at renowned UK music magazine NME, where he reported on artists who were changing pop culture one song at a time. His first interview was with Amy Winehouse, in a cemetery in Bristol, when she was one of the biggest names in music—a foundational experience for Matt. “Even though I was totally inexperienced,” he says, “that Amy interview was life-changing for me. When she realized I was there to talk about music rather than her private life, she just came alive—waxing lyrical about ’60s girl groups, hip-hop, the lot. This was the first time I’d ever sat eye-to-eye with a big-name musician and really connected with them. And forging that connection is still what I aim to do when I speak to artists today.” As the host of his namesake show on Apple Music, Matt brings that sense of music history and connection to the air, mining the most interesting new music, chronicling the best of the UK scene, and telling the stories behind the songs of the day with revealing interviews and more. But above all? He’s a music fan obsessed with the idea that “there are still classic songs waiting to be discovered,” he says. “I’m forever looking for the 'hairs on the back of the neck' feeling to happen. That unnameable, rare thing where you hear a song and it suddenly changes your life. It happens every so often and it's the best thing ever.” Hear The Matt Wilkinson Show every Monday through Friday on Apple Music 1 at 4 am LA/7 am NYC/12 pm LDN.

Relatable, full of heart, and genuinely hilarious, Rebecca Judd is one of the UK's most essential and plugged-in new voices. Rebecca has been a music fan since early on, and happily recounts “one of the greatest concerts of my life—Destiny’s Child when I was like eight years old, singing ‘Survivor’ and ‘Bootylicious’ with so much passion and emotion,” she says. “If only I could relive that now!” Her musical tastes run the spectrum—her karaoke favorites swing from Whitney Houston to Drake—and she brings that same diversity and curious energy to her show. “Every day has a different theme,” Judd says. “So if you fancy a bit of everything, it’s perfect—and I’m joined by loads of incredible guests.” Check out The Rebecca Judd Show every Monday–Thursday at 9am LDN / 4am NYC / 1am LA.
