    Night School Ep. 125 (Guest Speaker: Johan Lenox)

    On Episode 125 of the Guest Speaker Series, the multi-talented singer, producer, composer, and instrumentalist, Johan Lenox, returns for his third appearance. This time, we recorded the episode inside of Landsdowne Pub in Boston, ahead of his opening performance at House of Blues for 070 Shake’s Petrichor tour. Johan catches us up with what he’s been up to since his last appearance on the show, including the release of his second full-length studio album ‘I Guess We’ll Find Out’ which hit all DSP’s back in March 2024. However, much of the material on the album is still deeply relevant today regarding the political and social climate, and even the impact of the recent LA fires, which Johan & Mike talk at length about. Johan also talks about his experience conducting an orchestra for A$AP Rocky at Rolling Loud in Thailand, having a heavy hand in production for 070 Shake’s Petrichor, as well as the visual experience that was made into a ballet, and so much more. Special thanks to Mass Effect for helping us with production on this episode, and for a surprise segment!

This TAHA’s first podcast appearance since moving to New York City in 2022, and he discusses at length about his experiences living in New York both musically and personally.

    Night School Ep. 123 (Guest Speaker: Dylan Reese)

    On Episode 123 of the Guest Speaker Series, we are joined by R&B sensation Dylan Reese exclusively at The Record Co. in Boston. Originally from Chicopee, MA and now residing in LA, Dylan has steadily been on the rise within his artistry as he’s toured the country multiple times, and worked with legends such as Musiq Soulchild, Twista, Paul Wall, and additionally opened for Jon Bellion on his first ever tour. Dylan, who used to be a rapper, discusses his lifelong love for R&B music and explains how he’s finally making the kind of music he truly always wanted to make, especially on the heels of his latest full-length release ‘EARTHQUAKE’ which received critical acclaim. Dylan shares plenty of his musical journey, but also drops a ton of gems and free game for independent artists who are trying to make a profitable and livable career in the music industry, something Dylan has accomplished for years. His goal is to pay it forward and provide as much advice for artists as possible. Mike & Dylan also have a thorough and enlightening conversation about the beauty of being told “no”, and the need to have irrational confidence within the industry, as well as what proper “artist etiquette” looks like from multiple aspects. Dylan also discusses a variety of topics, including his college basketball career and being coined “the R&B Luka Doncic”, why he’s never gotten his driver’s license, a surprising fact about Channing Tatum, a crazy story about a night in a Minneapolis motel, and so much more.

    Night School Ep. 122 (Guest Speaker: juliana maria)

    On Episode 122 of the Guest Speaker series, we welcome rising pop artist juliana maria to the show! Originally from Gloucester, juliana discusses the unlikeliness of her musical pursuit, as she didn’t realize the vocal talent she had until she was casted for a musical in high school. Juliana began recording at PHX Down Recording Studios with engineer and fellow Gloucester native Ally Doody, as well as Josh Schuback, releasing her first single “LOVERBOY” in 2021. After nearly a 3-year hiatus in her releases, juliana is back in full swing, releasing two singles in 2024, the first being “OBSESSIVE”, and most recently “Just The Beginning”. She breaks down each of her 3 songs in detail, which include navigating the fallout of a long-term relationship, while becoming more grounded and confident as both a person and an artist. Juliana also shares her mindset in improving her songwriting abilities at this point in her career. This edition of Pop Quiz with juliana also gets a little spicy, which includes memories from “The Nest”, her grave fear of turkeys, her obsession with Justin Bieber, the alarming amount of classic movies she’s never seen, a diss song that will never see the light of day, and so much more.
