My Music Podcast — Graham Coath with Millie Bushell

A rising voice you’ll be hearing a lot more from. In this episode, Graham sits down with 14-year-old (nearly 15!) vocalist Millie Bushell to talk covers, confidence and carving out a path in pop before GCSEs are even done.

• From covers to originals: how Millie and her manager pick cross-generational songs, and the plan to start releasing originals by 16.

• Finding her sound: building power, extending range (hello, lower register), and making big songs her own.

• Listening habits: why a “very happy, very bubbly” teen gravitates to sad songs—and Spanish tunes for bath-time vibes.

• Standing tall (literally): being 5'11", captain of the netball team, and juggling school, rugby, football and studio time.

• Age & the industry: stereotypes, jealousy nearby vs support online, and learning to “own it” without showing off.

• Guidance matters: the role of a BRIT-trained coach/mentor and a ridiculously supportive family team.

• Big dreams: support slots she’s manifesting (Calum Scott, Tate McRae, Coldplay support slots), and why she wants her songs to help people feel seen.

“I want people to know my name. I want stadiums. But most of all, I want people to connect with my lyrics the way I do.”

Find her on Instagram/TikTok/Facebook: @MillieBushell_ and on Spotify (tracks include “Cry For You” and “XO”, with early Love Island support).
