Snickerdoodles fresh out of the oven, a “porn star martini” (yes, really), and a full-circle conversation four years in the making. 🍪🍸 In this intimate home hang, Allison Hagendorf welcomes HUDDY — 40M+ followers, a new rom-com on Tubi, and an artist stepping into his most honest era yet. Allison gave HUDDY his first music interview back in 2021… and now he’s back with a second album that’s louder, deeper, more rock-leaning, and radically more personal. HUDDY opens up about: ⚡️ The 4-year journey to album two — 30 producers, real creative chemistry, and finally defining “the Huddy sound” ⚡️ Rock’s resurgence and why YUNGBLUD is a catalyst for the next generation ⚡️ Why he wrote “Fragile,” what it taught him about strength, and learning to talk about what you’re carrying ⚡️ Breakups, self-worth, living alone for the first time, and rebuilding from the inside out ⚡️ Touring, crowd work, stamina, and learning how to own the room — without blowing out your voice ⚡️ Success as connection: the songs that become someone’s soundtrack, not just someone’s scroll This is HUDDY like you haven’t seen him, grounded, reflective, and stepping into freedom as an artist and a human.
