From her beginnings as a choir girl at school, to trying out for X-Factor, and honing her sultry tones and R&B runs, to moving from Florida to LA at 19-years-old — with her supportive Cuban-Puerto Rican family in tow — Sabrina Claudio has been laser-focused on her dream, making it happen with real sense of DIY hustle from the jump. Now she’s a GRAMMY-winner who’s written songs for Beyoncé (‘Plastic off the Sofa’), collaborated with artists including The Weeknd, Alicia Keys, Zayn, and Tyga. S...

The Windsor, Canada-born, Montreal-raised actor joins us in the studio for the first time to discuss all aspects of Yellowjackets — a series which follows a high school girls' soccer team whose plane crashes, leaving them stranded in the wilderness and haunted for decades. Since its premiere in the fall of 2021, the psychological horror-cum-survival drama has gripped audiences with its twisted humor and dark, jaw-dropping plot twists. Not to mention the riveting interplay between the largely fem...

Back on the sofa for the first time since 2019 — this time without her trenchcoat — Grace WanderWaal joins us for a refreshingly frank conversation about her experiences in the entertainment industry.

She discusses that experience, candidly sharing her feelings as she navigated childhood to early adulthood in the spotlight. VanderWaal also unpicks the themes in her new album CHILDS...

People are calling Maddox Batson country’s answer to Justin Bieber, and it’s easy to see why: while his vocal prowess is sophisticated beyond his years, he’s delivering his earnest country-pop songs about young romance wrapped in highly choreographed videos. And this 15-year-old Tennessee-singing sensation is completely unfazed by these lofty comparisons. Batson first started making waves during the pandemic, doing covers (and GRWMs) with his dad. Now he’s playing the Grand Ole Opry, singing to ...

Americana-country singer Max McNown is still only 23, but he’s already two albums deep with millions of streams and TikTok followers. The West Linn, Oregon-born artist, inspired by the likes of Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan, left his hometown for San Clemente, Southern California, where he discovered his voice busking on the pier, in between shifts as a barista. Although McNown did audition for American Idol and made it through, the singer chose to pursue music on his own rather than take the realit...

Livingston is certainly one of the most articulate artists we’ve ever had on the couch, and in conversation and in song, the Denton, Texas-born songwriter and producer, is an open book. Born Drake Livingston, the 22-year-old first started making waves in early 2020 with the raw, propulsive pop of his ‘Fairytale,’ off what would become his Lighthouse EP. During the pandemic his music popped off even more thanks to his compelling covers of everyone from Rihanna to Lewis Capaldi to Tate McCrae. Dur...

Sacramento-born Virginia Gardner joins us in the studio to chat about her new thriller-comedy, ‘F*** Marry Kill’ and she’s a hoot and a half. You might know her as the kickass queer superhero Karolina Dean on Hulu’s Marvel's Runaways, or perhaps sparring and romancing Dylan Sprouse in ‘Beautiful Disaster’ and ‘Beautiful Marriage,’ (she pukes on him in both).

Japan’s Miyavi started his career in visual kei band Dué le Quartz, back in 1999 and by the early 2000s he’d struck out on his own, blending rock, pop, and electronic elements with his signature percussive slap guitar technique, earning himself the name Samurai Guitarist.
