    My Music Episode 649 - Julia Brüssel

    In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath sits down with London-based violinist Julia Brüssel for a conversation that moves from childhood practice rooms to avant-garde stages and electronic live sets. Julia began playing violin at just six years old, an instrument that, as she openly admits, is far from beautiful in its early days. What follows is a thoughtful exploration of discipline, muscle memory, and the slow transformation from “screeching” beginner notes to expressive, emotionally charged sound. Growing up in Cologne, later moving to Berlin during the pandemic, and eventually relocating to London on an artist visa, Julia’s path has been shaped by risk, curiosity, and instinct. Berlin introduced her more deeply into the experimental and free-improvisation scene — music that initially confused her as a teenager but later became a vital part of her voice. Graham and Julia dive into: Why the violin demands years of physical and emotional patience The freedom — and vulnerability — of improvised music How experimental sound can move audiences even when they “don’t get it” The contrast between groove-based electronic influences and abstract expression Recording for film and shaping emotion through sound rather than strict notation Building a live electronic setup with loopers, pedals and Ableton The tension between writing music and actually finishing and releasing it There’s talk of drum & bass parties, minimalism, Berlin’s underground scene, and the possibility of collaborations that bridge cinematic tension with melodic beauty. More than anything, this episode captures a musician in motion — not fixed in one genre, not chasing one label, but continually exploring where expression can go next. As always on MyMusic, the conversation reminds us that “my music” isn’t about ownership... it’s about connection. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when classical training meets electronic experimentation… or how it feels to stand in front of an audience playing something that doesn’t yet have a name, this one is worth your time. Listen, expand your ears, and maybe — just maybe — let a little discomfort turn into curiosity.

    My Music Episode 648 - Sierra Veins

    In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath sits down with Sierra Veins for a conversation that moves far beyond genre and into identity, intensity and what it really means to evolve as an artist.Broadcasting from France, SIERRA VEINS reflects on her transition from SIERRA to a new name rooted in blood, inheritance and self-definition, a change that mirrors the core themes of her latest work. As she explains, the shift wasn’t just practical or aesthetic. It was personal. It was necessary. Together they explore the emotional architecture of her music, the tension between aggression and vulnerability, how sound can rewrite parts of your story, and how identity is shaped by both what we inherit and what we choose. The conversation touches on:Why did the themes become central to her artistic direction..Reconnecting with the “little girl” who first played the synthesiser at two years old.Touring major stages while remaining intensely inward.Why scoring a dark, dystopian film remains her biggest dreamThere’s humour here too, from VR mishaps to merch ideas, but at its heart, this is a discussion about intensity, reinvention and accepting that some parts of us never truly disappear.As Graham asks in his closing question:If identity is written in the blood… can we ever really become someone new?Listen now to MyMusic with Graham Coath, then sit with the music in full.

    My Music Episode 647 - Adele Marie

    Coming all the way from Gaithersburg, Maryland (self-proclaimed “most exciting city in the world”… briefly), Adele Marie joins Graham for a conversation that moves effortlessly between playfulness and depth. Adele describes herself as a multimedia artist — but that only scratches the surface. Classically trained in voice, working full-time as a music therapist with traumatised teenagers, improviser at heart, disco-egg enthusiast, rescuer of mannequins from the patriarchy — she is the very definition of creatively unboxed. In this episode, they explore: Why improvisation feels like meditation The tension between structure and freedom in music Burnout, creativity, and laying under trees Whether great songs only exist because of one exact moment in time The strange pressure artists face in the social media age And why sometimes limitations are the birthplace of originality There’s talk of jazz brain scans, Kurt Cobain, Lego, Daniel Johnston, and the myth that artists must neatly categorise themselves for platforms that prefer tidy labels. Adele reflects on the way songs evolve once they’re shared — how audiences can sometimes be “where you were three months ago,” and how art changes forever once it leaves you. As always, Graham brings curiosity, gentle provocation, and the reminder that music doesn’t just appear from a box in the corner of the room — real people make it, in real moments, from real experience. If you’ve ever wondered how spontaneity, therapy, seriousness, silliness, and vulnerability can all live inside one artist… this conversation is for you. Listen. Support independent musicians. Buy them a coffee. Or at the very least, a can of Goya. Welcome to My Music.

    My Music Episode 646 - Isolation

    A shared determination to make something happen. In this episode, Graham sits down with Harrison, Jake and Ben from Isolation to talk about how a modern band forms, survives line-up changes, finds momentum and begins building an audience in one of the UK’s most competitive music cities. It starts with an online advert for bandmates and quickly becomes a conversation about ambition, belonging and why guitar music might be swinging back into view. They get into: building a group from scratch the leap from bedroom practice to live stages writing about division without preaching creating atmosphere at gigs finding community in a crowded scene and the graft required from emerging artists right now There’s humour, honesty and plenty of practical thinking about what actually helps new bands move forward. If you care about grassroots music, the future of live performance, or how young artists organise themselves in a DIY world, you’ll enjoy this one.

    My Music Episode 645 - Cormac

    Cormac had a start to his career that artists would die for.... But in this conversation, we leave it at the door. No looking backwards. No nostalgia tour. No easy headlines. Instead, Graham sits down with a young musician in the middle of becoming — working out who he is, what he wants to sound like, and how to stay motivated when the early spotlight fades and the real graft begins. They talk about: Moving on from the classical label Navigating a changing voice and identity The pressure of expectation writing from teenage experience Collaboration vs going it alone And why finding your people matters There’s humour, honesty, practical advice, and a refreshing look at what it means to start again while everyone else keeps talking about yesterday. If you’re interested in artistic reinvention, creative confidence, or the messy reality of growing up in public, this one will stay with you.

    My Music Episode 644 - Kyle Gordon

    In this episode of My Music, Graham Coath is joined by Atlanta-based songwriter and multi-project musician Kyle Gordon for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about creativity, truth, and learning to get out of your own way. Kyle reflects on making music in a noisy, algorithm-driven world and why integrity matters more than output or attention. From pastoral soundscapes and field recordings to the value of collaboration, restriction, and trusting other musicians, this is a deep dive into what happens when ego steps aside and the music is allowed to breathe. They talk about growing up on The Beatles, early ’90s hip-hop, Nirvana, and the quiet influence of nature; about why not every song needs to fit a project; and how Kyle’s current work under his own name has become a space for the in-between moments — the musical equivalent of candid photographs between life’s big events. There’s also talk of XTC, Peter Gabriel, recording limitations, romantic comedies, churches with good acoustics, and why happiness might be the most underrated artistic goal of all. A gentle, honest conversation about music made for the right reasons — and why that still matters.

    My Music Episode - 643 - BRSR

    In this episode of My Music, Graham Coath is joined by the full band BRSR (aka Bruiser) for a lively, honest, and often hilarious deep dive into how bands are really made. Broadcast from their Glasgow practice space (“it’s not a house — it’s a building”), the band talk about long musical friendships, failed projects, rushed first gigs, and the chaos that sometimes leads to your best work. What started as a few songs written under pressure quickly grew into a full album — recorded with a raw, live-first mindset inspired by classic live records and a love of melody as much as power. The conversation explores: How BRSR came together after years of shared history across different bands Writing songs under extreme time pressure — and why it worked Recording live to capture energy, weight, and honesty Balancing heaviness with melody and pop sensibility Influences ranging from punk, shoegaze, and power pop to live rock classics Why Germany and the US are paying attention — and what’s next Touring ambitions, remix ideas, and the realities of being a modern band There’s talk of Europe, America, Bandcamp, gifting albums for Valentine’s Day, and why making music you actually enjoy still matters more than algorithms, aesthetics, or trends. Warm, funny, and refreshingly real, this episode is for anyone who loves bands with substance, stories, and songs that hit hard and stick in your head. 🎧 Listen now — and if you like what you hear, don’t just stream it.Add it to a playlist.

    My Music Episode 642 - Anna Bea

    In this episode of My Music, host Graham Coath sits down with London-based singer-songwriter Anna Bea for an honest, thoughtful, and wide-ranging conversation about life as an independent artist in today’s music industry. Discovered via TikTok (a first for Graham), Anna talks about growing up in London, gigging across New York, finding her voice as a songwriter, and how a bit of sibling rivalry kick-started her writing journey. From Bob Marley and Billy Joel to modern pop culture and sync work, Anna shares what inspires her music — and what it really takes to keep going when the internet’s attention span is measured in seconds. The conversation dives into: Writing songs that are almost too honest The pressure (and promise) of TikTok for musicians Dealing with online negativity and protecting your mental health Sync opportunities, collaboration, and creative control Why shorter songs are winning — and why longer ones still matter Anna also discusses her latest release, “A Song From a Scorned Woman”, the realities of balancing multiple jobs alongside music, and her dream of supporting artists she genuinely admires. A warm, funny, and refreshingly real chat about creativity, resilience, and making music on your own terms. 🎧 Listen now and support independent music.
