Show Notes
This week, Alfie and Fionnán welcome their first guest: artist and songwriter (and Alfie's teenage hero!) Greg Holden.
The three lads have an open conversation about Greg's career from Artist to Songwriter and what he stands for in an ever-changing industry. This week, they cover major label budgets, the downfalls of going viral and whether the algorithm hinders music.
Greg reminisces about the open music scene in New York and the community that came with it and offers advice on how we can support artists now, including some brutal but loving home truths.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to How to Break an Artist. Or should we say How to Make an Artist!
We’ve missed you! Welcome back to our New Year’s Eve special, The A-Z of the Year 2024. In this special New Year’s bonus episode, the lads go through some of their favorite and biggest music news of the year from A to Z. Consider it the hootenanny of podcasts!
Hello all, Alfie here, This week for the series finale we are joined by the one and only Gabrielle Aplin. Not only is she an incredible Artist, Songwriter and role model; she is the unsung hero of this podcast, bringing us stories and topics to talk about, reviewing the episodes and writing each week’s blurb…which this week is my responsibility.
This week the lads are in Cork to meet Irish singer-songwriter Darren Kiely. If you’re a young or new artist feeling a bit lost or maybe you’re unsure of where to go next, we are sure Darren will inspire you in this episode. We know he started by uploading covers online and we know he’s fresh off the stage at Electric Picnic and his songs are going viral, but in this episode Darren breaks down the lesser known ‘in-between’. We talk finding a manager, songwriting sessions and achieving your dreams. We loved meeting with Darren face to face and can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode. Hosted on Acast.
