Adit Dileep
Adit joins the show to talk about his career, love for cryptocurrency and more!
***********
Unconventional in reel & real life, Adit Dileep is an actor, writer, producer and former investment banker.
Born in Bangalore, India, his parents named him Aditya, which means The Sun, a name he aspires and grows towards. His family is made up of his mother and father and his older sister, Divya.
At age two, his family moved to Singapore for his father's IT profession, and his mother gave up her position as a Journalist interviewing Indian Celebrities for India Today. His family moved throughout their eight years in Singapore, and moved again to the United States before Y2K.
After settling in Bridgewater, New Jersey, Aditya, now 10 years old and fresh off the boat, had to start over. Upon learning that nobody on the school bus could pronounce this new boy's name, some student called him "Adit," and it stuck.
Adit wanted to be an actor, but nobody really knew what he meant or why he had such crazy ideas. When it came time for him to go to college, his parents banned him from applying to art school and gave him three options: medicine, law or engineering. Never one to give in to authority, Adit chose business school, thinking he could learn how to be self-sufficient and run his own brand and company.
Adit went on to be accepted in the Scholar's Program at NYU Stern Business School. Fun fact, Aziz Ansari followed the exact same path. While Aziz went straight into comedy after graduating, Adit took jobs in various different sectors within Marketing, Startups, Publishing and of course, Accounting and Finance. He graduated with a B.S. in Finance & Marketing and, still at a loss for how to make his dreams come true, took the highest paying job he could find in investment banking.
Two years later, he saved up enough to quit and educate himself on the industry. Bright-eyed and idealistic, Adit printed out Yale Drama School's syllabus and crafted his own curriculum with reputable studios and teachers in New York City. Adit got his first big break with a role in Mystic India: The World Tour in 2015, voicing and narrating a script he wrote himself and performing around the U.S. and Europe.
The show got Adit his first Manager, and a few Managers later he booked his first Equity show at Hudson Stage Company in NY, NY followed by long-term theatre contracts at the renown Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, MN and McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ. These projects earned Adit his first round of Agency meetings, and he couldn't be happier to sign with Artists & Representatives FKA Stone Manners Salners in NY and LA.
He continues to work with Artists & Representatives to this day, along with MKSD Management and Innovative Artists NY for Commercial and VoiceOver.
Theatre "Disgraced" (Guthrie Theatre, McCarter Theatre Center), "Animals Out of Paper"(Hudson Stage Company)

Bittersweethearts
George introduces Bittersweethearts to the world in a very cool introductory interview.
Los Angeles based indie-rockers Bittersweethearts release their dreamy and heart-wrenching third single ‘Run From You’. The enchanting front lady Zoe Infante openly offers, “It symbolizes change and yearning for something new, while feeling stuck in the past. It also represents the feeling of being lost in a toxic relationship and not knowing if you want to stay or leave.”
Penned and recorded at Strawhorse Studios California and engineered by Thomas Ross Johansen (Wheatus, Snoop Dog, Walter Trout, Bruno Mars), Thomas added keys to the song with Zach Andrews on bass, Declan O’Raidy guitar/producer and Marc Slutsky provided drums. “While recording we were experimenting with a lot of different guitar tones to achieve a more dreamy vibe, which contrasts the rocky feel of our last single.”
Being known for striking imagery, the song is paired with a haunting and ethereal video shot by Vicente Cordero of Industrial Films (Richie Kotzen, Mr Big, Winery Dogs). “I definitely took inspiration from my recent divorce for not only the song, but the video and how tough it was to let go of someone I had made up a fantasy life about.” Zoe goes on, “When I was a little girl, I thought the most romantic gesture would be a photo in a locket, so my favorite lyric from the song has to be, “I want our faces/around my neck/inside a locket”…There’s a funeral scene and a wedding scene. I wanted to portray the death of a past life, as well as the rebirth of a new one.”
Embodying Tarantino-esque rock vibes, an air of Blondie mixing a cocktail with Mazzy Star in a back alley behind CBGB’s in Manhattan's East Village, they have returned to US shores after a January European tour and debut UK show at a renowned haunt for fiery new bands, Fiddlers Elbow Camden to fantastic receptions.
Swiftly gaining new fans from their tour in addition to playing legendary venues in Whisky A Go Go, The Viper Room and The Mint on the California coast, the single is another taste of Bittersweethearts with more to come later this year.

Julia Poorman - The Next Alanis Morrisette
Writing songs has always been second nature to Julia. As a young girl living in New York's Finger Lakes Region, her little poems could be found stuffed in her night stand expectantly waiting for melodies to bring them to life. As soon as she'd pick up the paper, the music would come flowing out and a song would be born.
Throughout her youth, music served as a reliable and cathartic outlet for Julia. To her, it's an entire dimension filled with comradery, boundless expression, and healing.
As a young adult, Julia took a brief step back from her musical endeavours to help build a business and life with her fiance. Navigating the world as an entrepreneur brought many rewarding opportunities for growth and unforgettable experiences, but she was left feeling a void in her creative nature.
In 2021, Julia unexpectedly lost her father. One of the last text messages he sent her was a photo of him listening to her original self-titled EP from 2012. She knew she needed to get back to her roots to begin to heal. Music became a necessary therapy again, and the melodies and lyrics just didn't stop.
Julia now feels the importance of creating music that puts people in their own flow state, a vibrational catalyst for self-exploration and healing. Her passion reclaimed, she feels as though this is just the beginning.
