Episode description

There’s a kind of artist who gets better the more they get broken open. Who wears the hard stuff — the heartbreak, the hangups, the spiritual confusion — like a second layer of skin. Liam St. John is one of those artists.

You may have come across him recently via his viral single Dipped in Bleach, or maybe from his powerhouse audition on The Voice a few years back. But if you’re just tuning in now, you’re catching Liam right as things are starting to click. His sound has always been somewhere between blues and gospel and folk — but in the last year, it feels like he’s finally tapped the root system. There’s clarity now. Depth.

In one of the most candid conversations we’ve ever had on the pod, Liam and I talk about the long road to that kind of creative honesty — how he clawed his way through church trauma and a brutal divorce, how he almost walked away from music entirely, and how it wasn’t until he let go of “trying” that things actually started to move. It’s a story about surrender, but also about staying in the game long enough to make something real. And for anyone who’s in that weird in-between space — unsure of the path, but unwilling to settle — I think this one will resonate.

Near the end of the episode, Liam plays a stripped-down version of his song “Stick to Your Guns” — and I promise, it’s worth sticking around for. No frills, no edits — just a man, a voice, and a crazy story behind it.
