BT14 - Sofia Gobbi

An artist who wants to become the next powerhouse in pop music, you can see why Sofia Gobbi has got all the skills and passion to do that in this episode of the podcast! This conversation was a great one, exploring her rich and varied experiences growing up through her childhood and falling into something performative and in the arts - landing into making music. Sofia grew up between the United States and Italy, with family and friends drawing her between the two countries throughout her earlier years, before studying music in the UK and writing a lot of her songs between all of those places and drawing experience from those times. A mixture of a love for Disney, Hannah Montana, Shakespeare and Italian Heritage is not the usual ingredients for a childhood, but it's very much the world Sofia was exposed to. Right now in 2026, having been able to work with Grammy-nominated producers and writers who's credits include Joy Crookes, Gracey and Orla Gartland, Sofia is armed with great passion and people around her and riding off the success of her hit 'That Ass!' - she's been highlighted as a name for people to watch out for... and we very much agree with that!

BT13 - Cameron Sanderson

Joining Jake on this episode today is hyper-pop, rock and emo artist Cameron Sanderson, who's been moulding his sound since he was a teenager and has since brought people from around the world, along for the ride. As well as being a singer/songwriter, he's also a multi-instrumentalist, frequently drumming on his tracks and giving him the foundations for his approach to music. Cameron's career changed in a matter of months when he was a teenager, busking a Bring Me The Horizon song in his local town square, which then went on to be viewed millions of times and gave him the sign he needed that this is a passion he should follow and run to the hills with. Since those early moments, his music has taken him to work with producers and other artists all across the UK, the US and around the world, building a loyal following in the States. It's seen him go onto to work with Magnolia Park, Anson Seabra, and in a full circle moment... the producer of some of BMTH's tracks Dan Lancaster. At the time of chatting to us on the pod, he's got a big focus on his music of course, but is also utilising the social media space and creating viral content playing live to strangers in chatrooms and getting exposure for his music in new novel ways, including his latest EP 'More' - this is such a cool episode if we say so ourselves and a great insight into harnessing social media in an innovative way as an artist!

BT11 - Gabriela Eva

In this episode of the podcast, Jake welcomes introspective, soulful and free-spirit Gabriela Eva, fresh off a run of UK tour dates! Gabriela has been doing her thing for many years, sculpted by the sounds of Nina Simone, Hiatus Kaiyote & Alanis Morisette, making her music in and around Colchester, Essex. She's enjoyed some amazing milestones on the way, including her 2021 hit Feng Shui surpassing 1 million streams and capturing people all over the world with her indie, jazz-fulled and singer/songwriter inspired sounds. Gabriela has also championed neurodiversity in her music and writing as a dyslexic and the challenges that can come from that, spreading awareness of both those things in her music. There have also been countless moments in the grassroots of her local scene and community that have been pivotal for her journey. They talk about enjoying the success of your biggest songs, how she announced a tour without a band ready to go and making it happen with total strangers and how exciting a chapter it feels to be finding her place once again, in the latest chapter of her life and music.

BT10 - George Bone

In this episode, Jake chats to jazz-inspired singer/songwriter George Bone, who's becoming one of the most exciting and unique voices in the East Of England. This podcast is an awesome insight into the melting pot of influences and sounds that George has intertwined into his songwriting and music, which has classical and theatrical notes, earning him new fans all the time. George's musical journey has been built on a diet of country artists like Dan & Shay, Chris Stapleton and Darius Rucker which he had exposed to him on long car journeys as a kid with his family; mix this with influences of classical music he absorbed at Durham University and gaming soundtracks like Sonic The Hedgehog, and you'll get something like the music George is creating now, blending his life experiences and love for piano all into one. In 2026, George is loving the continued growth and development as an artist, releasing two singles already in 2026, with more to come in the near future. He's very much enjoying the path that his music is taking him on and it's going to be so exciting to see how George develops in the years to come - some idea of which you can get a glimpse of in this episode.

BT09 - James Smith

Back for a brand new series, Jake sits welcomes cheeky-chappy singer/songwriter James Smith, in an exciting time for him as he releases his second album Golden Age! This conversation is a great one as they chat all about James' early beginnings performing in working men's clubs and British Legions as a teenager, before stealing the hearts of the UK on Britain's Got Talent. James grew up in the East End of London, surrounded by all different kinds of characters and moulded his sociable upbringing with his Mum encouraging him to pursue music, acting and performing and playing gigs for £20 here and there. It led to him developing his voice and talent, learning to play piano and guitar before sharing his talents with the nation. After Britain's Got Talent, he used the show as a springboard to build a fanbase and make connections in the music industry, getting to write for some of the biggest artists in the world, but also supporting smaller grassroots artists on the first steps of their journey. Right now, James is in the most comfortable and best place of his career, with an appetite for more albums into the future and possibly even to twenty in his career - and feels this is the most open and vulnerable he's ever been with his music so far.

BT08 - JNR Choi

In this episode of the podcast, Jake welcomes hip-hop and rap artist JNR Choi onto the podcast, speaking to us all the way from Miami. However, his journey started back in the grassroots of the U.K., before one of his breakthrough songs changed his life and enabled him to travel the world with his music and his passion for creating. JNR was born in London, spending his childhood living in Essex and the capital. Then one day working in his retail job at Topman, an invite into the world of modelling propelled him into the right places and was encouraged to give music a try because 'he looked like an artist'. The rest was history, emerging as one of the most viral and sought-after exports from the UK, with his hit rework, 'To The Moon', which has amassed more than 300 million Spotify streams. Building on this success and knack for 'right place, right time', JNR has become a respected name worldwide and worked with some of the biggest artists in music, including featuring on Busta Rhymes' new album, collaborating with American rapper Quavo and singer/songwriter JVKE with his songs and reworks. But it's not been smooth sailing to get to where is right now and now being independent after label life, he doesn't like to sit still; it goes without saying this is a great episode! #musicpodcast #podcast #jnrchoi #bustarhymes #quavo #tothemoon FIND JNR CHOI TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jnrchoi?lang=en Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jnrchoi/?hl=en KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE SHOW YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@breakthroughmusicpod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/breakthrough_music.pod/?hl=en TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@breakthroughmusicpod WANT AN ARTIST ON THE PODCAST/SEND YOUR MUSIC TO US?
