I am a broadcaster, presenter and podcaster.

I interview new, unsigned, signed and up and coming artists. I share their story with the world and play their music for all to hear. Explicit permission has been given by the artist to record and play the interviews and music.

This podcast is where you can get to know the artist and not just their songs. It's relaxed just like two people having a chat over coffee. Some artists share physical, war, mental health and bullying issues and why they chose to turn to music.

Sit back, put your headphones on and enjoy.

    Her goal was to raise £1,000.00 and she beat it. She said she felt like this is what she was born to do. She carried on practicing all year because I knew she wanted to go back better than last time, so again she went busking for the 5 days before Christmas with an even bigger target than last. She was on a mission to raise more money. This has become a tradition, and she is going to keep on busking to help as many children as she can. Her total today is £15,000.00. She has been busking now for the past 4 years.
    Besides busking she is out most weekends performing in restaurants and venues. She has also performed at a couple of local festivals and weddings etc. Over the past 6 months she has been singing and playing at a few charity events in the northwest, to help others with their cause. Her goal in life is to be a big star so she can help more people.

    Ep: 79 Sean Mills

    Ep: 79 Sean Mills

    In early December 2023, a relatively unknown Australian artist, Sean
    Millis, was being touted online as ‘a look-a-like’ to one of Manchester United’s new star players Rasmus Højlund - a player who was yet to score his first goal for the club.

     It just so happened that Sean Millis’s most recent song was called
    ‘Waiting On a Miracle’.

    The online Twitter army got behind Sean and the song, Højlund
    scored, and the rest was history.

     As a result, 'Waiting On a Miracle' achieved #1 on the UK Daily Viral Spotify Charts for 11 Days straight and also charted top 10 in 9 other countries. During this period Sean had over 220 million views on his videos across Tiktok and Instagram, and now cannot leave his house without signing autographs for anyone
    who spends any time at all on TikTok.

     All that meaningless stuff aside, Sean’s personal story is
    remarkable. Sean lives with a rare disease called Hunters Syndrome - for which he receives life-saving hospital treatment every week. He has a dedicated team of nurses at his hospital who have looked after him for years. They love his music and encourage him to go all the way.

     Sean is following his dreams as a singer-songwriter and won’t let anything get in the way. Sean’s fast-growing fan base of over 960,000 followers across Tiktok and Instagram love his positive outlook on life whilst he faces daily and weekly challenges that most people could not comprehend.

     Sean's message to the world is simple – 

     "I have faced dark days in hospital as a young person facing a rare disease. I know what it's like to have the feeling that there is no hope. As a result, I have learnt to live every day as though it's my last, and I am now grateful for every opportunity I have to live and love life. I hope I can share my journey of hope with one person at a time, through my songs and my voice." 

     ‘Waiting On a Miracle’ was written by Pam Sheyne (‘Genie in a
    Bottle’ – Christina Agilera), Aiden Martin and Oscar Bell and produced by rising Australian talent Jude York. Sean’s rich, warm vocal tones take the listener on an uplifting journey of hope. This song will touch even the hardest of hearts.

    **Explicit permission has been given for the song to be used by Sean Mills and Hart Media**

    Episode 77: 48 & The Flying Dogs

    A project that started over 48 years ago! – Andy Whiteman and Mark Stone met each other at 5-years old. Best mates since then, they have wandered round the world, settled in different countries, brought up their children, worked their nuts off, & lived a lot.


    Time again they came back to their original project – a debut album.

Together with a collective of musical collaborators from UK, Australia, Bulgaria, Ireland, Cyprus, Nigeria and Brazil, they released their debut album – Best of Better Days - in 2021.

    melodies and rhythms. Preparing for the next musical adventure, Andy - a vagabond and wannabe troubadour – is eyeing up a global tour
