At 13 he joined a school band, by 24 he'd had a number one UK album and had sold out 3 nights at Brixton Academy. With lyrics and music gaining the attention of the Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Awards, it's safe to say The 1975 have become one of the most successful modern-day bands. But with Healy as the frontman, the band has been subject to a lot of heat and a lot of scandal.

From Nazism, to misogyny, to racism and to relationships, this is the story of Matty Healy. To find out how The 1975 star is connected to last episode's Charli XCX, make sure to give this episode a listen and watch out for the next episode where I'll be exploring a brand new artist. What do you think will be the link between them and Healy?

It's safe to say that 'Brat' was the soundbite of this summer- things that were once trashy became 'brat', things that seemed ordinary, were now 'brat', and god forbid if you saw anything green because it would, more than definitely, be BRAT. And who do we have to thank for this 'bratification' of pop culture? Charli XCX.

In this episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll be taking you to the start of Charli's career before we knew her as the PARTYGIRL she now is. I'll explore why her latest album 'Brat' has transcended the boundaries of music and infiltrated our culture in such an intense way and as for the rules of the pod, I'll be exploring the link between Charli and last episode's 'Ice Spice'. Who do you think will be the focus of next episode and what will be their link to Charli?

Isis Gaston, the 4x Grammy nominated 'Ice Spice', began making music in 2021 after dropping out of uni. By 2022, she had blown up on social media who coined her as the 'rap princess', following in the footsteps of her biggest inspiration and the 'queen of rap', Nicki Minaj. By 2023, Minaj had hopped on a remix for one of Ice's songs and that same summer, they collaborated together on the massive hit from the Barbie movie soundtrack 'Barbie World'. Whilst it's safe to say Ice's rise to fame has been one of speed and success, it's no secret that she finds herself attracting drama with just as much pace. With her 2024 shaping up to look like one of unsteadiness, I'll be explaining what it is that's triggered Gaston's success to fall into a career of conflicting public opinion.

In this episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll explain how last episode's, Travis Scott, is connected to Ice Spice- next episode there'll be a new artist with a new link. What do you think will connect them to Ice Spice?

Jacques Webster II, was born into a family line of musicians so it's no wonder that he became the better known 10x Grammy nominated, Travis Scott. Scott's rise to success took a quick trajectory, with his influence on the music industry being noticed from very early on in his career. However, his publicity hasn't come without any scandals, being the name behind the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy, I'll be looking in to how Travis' accolades have been clouded by his rather muddy and messy personal conduct.

As with every episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll be talking you through how Travis' life is closely intertwined with that of last episode's Kanye West, explaining the parallels between the two huge industry names. Next episode, we'll have another artist and another link- what is it that will connect them to Travis Scott?

It's safe to say the arc of Kanye West's career took a rather disappointing turn. Starting as a college dropout to becoming one of the most successful names in the hip hop industry, Kanye has now become a figure known for his polarising and outspoken cultural and political views. With most of his partnerships and sponsorships pulling out of their collaborations together, West has become a character who can be seen to have 'fallen from grace'. In this episode of 'Six Notes', I'll be exploring why the public has turned against Kanye West but more importantly, what impact it's had on his success- if it has at all.

As for the rules of the podcast, I explain how Kanye is linked to last episode's 'Taylor Swift', exploring their drama that was dragged out from 2009-2017. I'll be back shortly with another episode on another artist- what do you think will be their connection to Kanye?

Last summer Taylor Swift appeared to be on top of the world. Not only was she dominating the music industry but she was also (on the whole) very admired by the public. However, things have changed and rather drastically too. With the release of her 11th studio album 'The Tortured Poets Department', Taylor's gone from being one of the most liked female pop stars in the industry, to one of the most hated. In this episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll be taking you through why everyone's been left feeling as though they're the 'tortured poets' and if the heat this album's caused is at all justifiable.

As for the rules of Six Notes, I explain how Taylor is linked to last episode's 'Jack Antonoff', looking over their friendship and collaboration history. I'll be back shortly with another episode on another artist- what do you think will be their connection to Taylor?

TikTok has seen the rise of many artists, it most noticeably blowing up pop artists who then become international sensations. What many people don't know however, is that Jack Antonoff is the man behind the music, he's the man who's been single-handedly shaping the sound of the past decade. In this episode of 'Six Notes', I'll be giving you a crash course on who Jack Antonoff is and why he's such an instrumental part of the music industry.

As for the rules of 'Six Notes of Separation', I explain in this episode how Jack Antonoff relates to the previous episode I did on 'the rap beef' that took place a couple of months ago between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Get ready for the next episode where I'll be exploring a new artist- what connection do you think they'll have to Jack?

April and May of this year saw the music industry heating up with some thick tension in the rap and hip hop scene. The culprits for such tension are the music legends Kendrick Lamar and Drake. In this episode, I'll be giving a crash course on the so-called 'rap beef', it gets messy, it gets complicated but it's utterly thrilling! If you couldn't tell, I LOVE a bit of drama.

As for the rules of 'Six Notes of Separation', I explain in this episode how Kendrick and Drake relates to the previous episode I did on Billie Eilish. Get ready for the next episode where I'll be exploring a new artist. What connection do you think they'll have to the rap beef?
