For this episode I spoke to singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist BenjiFlow.

The day before the release of his debut EP, ‘BENERGY’, we sat down to reflect on his story so far.

The timeless sound that exists on tracks like ‘Deep End’ and ‘Can’t Lose’ is the product of a musical development that’s taken his entire life, from learning classical piano as a kid and playing almost every instrument at church, to recording grime tracks as a teenager and broadening his influences when he went to college.

He discusses how these experiences have made their way into his music and live shows, how going against the grain is paying off and why making music is freedom.
