We sat down with Empara Mi and talked about her career so far, from being signed to Sony to setting up her own record label, her new album Suitcase Full of Sins and her songwriting process. We also chatted about her adorable doggos, her excessive love of Diet Coke and her Tiger King conspiracy theories, so its classic Talking Tracks with Snacks, really.

This week we sat down with rising artist joey maxwell (well, with this current climate, over FaceTime....). He's been played on BBC Radio 1, released a few awesome music videos and amassed over 170k streams on his EP within a few short months. We chat all about his EP natureland, the kind of paperwork you gotta sign if you want to use a horse in your cover art, his love of movies, his aversion to capital letters, and his adoration of Ricky Gervais. He also brought wotsits, which is an all-round plus. Happy snacking!

This week we chat to BOBBi, Vancouver-made now London based singer-songwriter who’s making waves at the moment. Her recent track Calling Out ft. Hannie, released on Warner’s W Songs, was played on Love Island and  she’s recently written with Eurovision’s Michael Rice. She’s opened for the likes of Joe Jonas, Carly Rae Jepsen and One Republic. One contentious issue though? She brought toffee popcorn… Hosts: Tania C and Darshaan. Producer: Darshaan. Graphic Designer: Anna Thomas. 

We chat to Sarah de Warren, an EDM-Pop artist who has amassed over 5 million streams and was recently added to the North Star Media roster. We talk International Women’s Day, what it’s like being an independent, self-managed artist and of course about snacks (Sarah brought seaweed!).

London based artist Leyma comes to chat to us today. After carving his very own unique genre of "Br-Indie-Hop", Leyma stormed 2019 by being named an NME Top 100 one to watch and releasing a string of tracks played on Radio 1. Only one negative- the snack he brought was “cuppa soup”....
