    My Music Episode 655 - Enzo Dearing

    In this episode of My Music, host Graham Coath sits down with rising actor Enzo Dearing to discuss the relationship between music, film, and performance. Although Enzo is best known for his work on screen rather than as a musician, music plays a central role in his experience of storytelling. From his admiration for film composer Hans Zimmer to the influence of the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack on his early love of cinema, Enzo explains how powerful scores shape emotion, tension, and character on screen. The discussion moves through several themes, including: How film soundtracks help actors connect with the emotional rhythm of a scene The role of music in Bollywood productions and why those films feel so distinctive Enzo’s disciplined approach to acting, including detailed script preparation and performance notes His experience playing a darker character in the vertical series Alpha Stepbrothers Bite Me Why breaking into acting often depends as much on business skills and persistence as talent Enzo also reflects on the moment he realised acting was the path he wanted to pursue, inspired by a childhood fascination with pirates and the cinematic world of Pirates of the Caribbean. The conversation even touches on dream roles, from portraying Jack Sparrow’s son to potentially playing a young Elvis. Along the way, Graham and Enzo explore the realities of building a career in film, the importance of audience reaction for performers, and how music quietly underpins some of cinema’s most powerful moments. If you enjoy conversations about film, performance, and the creative forces behind storytelling, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how music and acting intersect.

    My Music Episode 653 - Amy Fox

    Podcast Description On this episode of MyMusic, host Graham Coath sits down with singer-songwriter Amy Fox for a thoughtful and personal conversation about music, vulnerability and the long road to finding confidence as an artist. Based near Southampton, Amy talks about the supportive grassroots music scenes in places like Southampton, Andover and Salisbury, and how open mic nights and local venues have played an important role in helping musicians develop their craft. The conversation then moves into the heart of Amy’s songwriting. Her upcoming EP of four deeply personal songs explores themes of healing, leaving a toxic relationship and learning how to rebuild self-worth and self-love. Writing these songs became an important part of her own healing process, turning difficult experiences into something creative and meaningful. Amy also reflects on the challenges many musicians face: stage fright, self-doubt and the long journey towards believing in your own voice. From writing songs in private as a teenager to finally performing at open mic nights after becoming a parent, her path into music has been one of gradual courage and growth. Graham and Amy discuss why imperfect voices often connect more deeply with audiences, the psychology of singing, and the communal power of live music. The episode also looks ahead to Amy’s next steps as an artist, including the release of her EP and a live EP launch show at The Dusty Barrel in Hythe, where she hopes to continue building her confidence and sharing her music with a wider audience. This is an honest conversation about music as a tool for expression, healing and connection — and a reminder that sometimes the most powerful songs come from the most difficult places. If you enjoy discovering emerging artists and the real stories behind their music, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

    My Music Episode 652 - Late Transmissions

    On this episode of MyMusic, host Graham Coath sits down with Dave Balfe and Dave Hughes, part of the creative partnership behind Late Transmissions. The conversation traces their long musical journeys from their early days in bands and the wider music industry to their reunion decades later to create something entirely new together. Drawing inspiration from the grand orchestral pop of the 1960s, the cinematic power of classic film soundtracks, and the storytelling tradition of timeless songs, Late Transmissions set out to build music that feels both dramatic and emotionally rich. Dave Balfe explains how their shared love of artists like Scott Walker and the sweeping arrangements associated with composers such as John Barry helped shape the project, while Dave Hughes discusses the production side—blending orchestral textures, modern studio tools, and his experience in film composition to create a wide sonic palette. They also talk about discovering vocalist Eve, whose powerful voice brought the songs to life and influenced the music's direction, giving the project its distinctive emotional centre. Along the way, the conversation moves through stories from the music business, reflections on how the industry has changed, the realities of making orchestral-scale music today, and the possibilities of where these songs could travel next—from film and television syncs to perhaps even a stage musical. It’s a thoughtful, often humorous discussion about songwriting, collaboration, and the enduring power of songs that aim to tell a story and leave a lasting impression.

    My Music Episode 651 - Sam Kellner

    In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath sits down with Sam Kellner, best known for his recurring appearances in major productions including Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Everybody Still Hates Chris, Young Royals, The Woman in the Wall, and Bunk'd, to talk about his love for and his career so far in music. Born and raised near Hamburg, Germany, Sam taught himself guitar at eleven, began producing at fifteen, and has since released more than twenty self-produced singles on Spotify. Several of those tracks have gone on to become theme songs for feature films, reflecting an artist who understands both storytelling and sonic atmosphere. As described in his IMDb mini biography by Craig Rogalski, Sam’s creative journey spans acting, music and modelling, including walking at New York Fashion Week in February 2024 and appearing in a promotional campaign for Yves Saint Laurent. But this conversation goes deeper than credits. Graham and Sam explore: Growing up inspired by Michael Jackson, and why he would still choose him as his ultimate studio collaborator Early pop influences like Justin Bieber and how that shaped his songwriting instincts Why he values personal honesty over technical perfection The reality of being a young artist navigating TikTok, streaming culture and creative pressure How messages from listeners studying, revising, or finding comfort in his songs keep him motivated There is humour too, including a confession about being spectacularly bad at archery and reflections on identity, insecurity, experimentation, and the desire to write something even more personal in the next phase of his career. From indie-leaning folk ambitions to Latin and early 2000s R&B influences, Sam is still exploring, still refining, and still open. This is a conversation about momentum, maturity, and what it means to stay curious while the spotlight grows. Listen in. Add a track to your playlist.

    My Music Episode 649 - Julia Brüssel

    In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath sits down with London-based violinist Julia Brüssel for a conversation that moves from childhood practice rooms to avant-garde stages and electronic live sets. Julia began playing violin at just six years old, an instrument that, as she openly admits, is far from beautiful in its early days. What follows is a thoughtful exploration of discipline, muscle memory, and the slow transformation from “screeching” beginner notes to expressive, emotionally charged sound. Growing up in Cologne, later moving to Berlin during the pandemic, and eventually relocating to London on an artist visa, Julia’s path has been shaped by risk, curiosity, and instinct. Berlin introduced her more deeply into the experimental and free-improvisation scene — music that initially confused her as a teenager but later became a vital part of her voice. Graham and Julia dive into: Why the violin demands years of physical and emotional patience The freedom — and vulnerability — of improvised music How experimental sound can move audiences even when they “don’t get it” The contrast between groove-based electronic influences and abstract expression Recording for film and shaping emotion through sound rather than strict notation Building a live electronic setup with loopers, pedals and Ableton The tension between writing music and actually finishing and releasing it There’s talk of drum & bass parties, minimalism, Berlin’s underground scene, and the possibility of collaborations that bridge cinematic tension with melodic beauty. More than anything, this episode captures a musician in motion — not fixed in one genre, not chasing one label, but continually exploring where expression can go next. As always on MyMusic, the conversation reminds us that “my music” isn’t about ownership... it’s about connection. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when classical training meets electronic experimentation… or how it feels to stand in front of an audience playing something that doesn’t yet have a name, this one is worth your time. Listen, expand your ears, and maybe — just maybe — let a little discomfort turn into curiosity.
