    EP 12 | From YouTube Beats to Unshakeable Confidence | MelodrAmatic with Povisim and Zoe.

    Join Povism as he welcomes new artist Zoe to the show. Zoe recounts her initial foray into music, describing how a year eight teacher introduced her to a different approach—making music by writing to YouTube beats, a departure from her previous classical training. Currently, Zoe identifies her musical style as leaning towards folky, a genre she feels aligns well with her voice and guitar playing skills, contrasting with her past ventures into R&B. She also shares her broad listening tastes, asserting that she listens to everything alongside a lot of folk music.   The conversation also delves into Zoe's personal philosophy and creative process. She offers unfiltered advice for aspiring musicians, advocating to "believe in yourself," cultivate "some kind of arrogance," and to "f*** the haters". Zoe reveals that life itself is her primary inspiration, drawing on real-life experiences, shows, and even TV show lines for her music. Her strong self-belief is a grounding force, helping her navigate life and fostering confidence in her musical creations, as she now likes what she makes, unlike before. Listeners are given a preview of her upcoming EP, which has been three years in the making, and hear her song Bearing Clean. Zoe explains Bearing Clean as a candid reflection on her tendency to dislike people, particularly those she perceives as funnier, smarter, or cooler, a feeling rooted in jealousy and envy.

    EP 11 | Dismantling Stereotypes | MelodrAmatic with Povism and Remi

    Join Povism as he sits down with the versatile artist Remi, whose stage name playfully references the rat. Remi is a multi-talented musician, adept at rapping, spoken word, singing, and playing the piano, striving to do a bit of everything. His journey into music began with a deep love for it since childhood, solidified by the electrifying energy of live performances and the profound ability to connect with and inspire a crowd.   Remi's current focus extends beyond entertainment; his upcoming very big projects are driven by a powerful message, particularly for the youth. Drawing from his unique experiences growing up in South London, Remi offers a critical perspective on class differences and societal stereotypes. He's actively working on projects, like one funded by Goldsmiths, that aim to dismantle the road man stereotype—the image of a young black person in a puffer jacket and mask—by showcasing the hidden artistic talents, such as masterful piano playing or powerful poetry, of individuals often judged by their appearance. Outside of creating his own music, including a song called Home, Remi dedicates his time to mentoring young aspiring musicians at Alchemy and honing his craft at Access Creative College.

    EP 10 | From Piano to Pixles | MelodrAmatic with Povisim and Lina

    Join Povisim as he chats with Lina, who shares her journey into music, starting with piano lessons at age four and evolving into a passion for electric guitar and a soft petite rock style.

Lina, who confesses to being a nerd, reminisces about hacking school computers in primary school to watch Attack on Titan. The duo dives deep into anime, from the highly-rated Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood to the surprisingly dark Moka Magika, and Lina’s preference for Dragon Ball's story over Dragon Ball Z's fights. They also touch on gaming, including Dragon Ball titles, obscure DS games, and the chaotic nature of Club Penguin, showcasing a truly passionate and winding discussion.

Angel shares her unique journey into music, which began as a means of self-expression due to her distinct personality, influenced by her family's diverse humour. Discover her self-written songs, including the "creepy undertones" of her favourite, "Mr. John Doe," a dark narrative about a 1950s girl who stalks an unidentified man, kills his wife, and frames him.

The episode also features Angel's poem "Phoenix," which she wrote while experiencing physical burnout and describes as being about exhaustion and resilience. Beyond music, Angel is pursuing painting and decorating in college, viewing it as another form of self-expression, and plans to attend a music college in the future.
