Episode 18: A conversation with singer/songwriter Greg Holden The Vanity Prodcast

    • Society & Culture

In the episode, Scott talks with musician Greg Holden. The two dive into his move to the states from the UK, his start into music, as well as his latest album “World War Me.”

While his name may not be that of a household variety yet, his work definitely is.  Greg's music has been featured in the television shows Private Practice, One Tree Hill, and Sons of Anarchy.  He also cowrote and produced the song during the closing credits of Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Greg also wrote the coronation song "Home" for American Idol season 11 winner Phillip Phillips; the single went on to sell over 5 million copies in the United States and become the best-selling coronation song by any Idol alum.

Scott and Greg chat about Greg's current work, songwriting during a global pandemic, what it's like being signed to - and subsequently dropped by - a major record label, and the surreal moment of standing in an arena while a sold-out crowd sings your song.

They also tackle where he sees his career heading next... and, of course,  aliens.
