Hello everyone! Welcome back to How to Break an Artist. Or should we say How to Make an Artist!

For this series we are shaking things up a bit. Alfie is putting everything we’ve talked about so far to practise and decided to bring you all along for the journey as he reenters the world as an artist. Each month we are documenting each stage of the process with help and advice from experts along the way.

In this episode we start in January 2025 and Alfie is writing songs and hopes to get them made into demos to start thinking about releasing them. We will hear his songs go from rough ideas to fully formed songs, with a masterclass in songwriting and home recording with Liz Horsman.

Hello all, Alfie here, This week for the series finale we are joined by the one and only Gabrielle Aplin. Not only is she an incredible Artist, Songwriter and role model; she is the unsung hero of this podcast, bringing us stories and topics to talk about, reviewing the episodes and writing each week’s blurb…which this week is my responsibility.

In my opinion, Gabrielle is a natural broadcaster, She effortlessly hosts this episode and brings in the topic of ’Superfans’.

She talks about her experiences as a fan and as an Artist and shares great stories and anecdotes. We all examine different fan behaviours and the music industry's new found obsession with the ‘Superfan’.

From Stan culture and fan conspiracies to golden circle tickets and gig etiquette; We also talk about Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift and much much more.

Thanks so much to Gabrielle for hosting this and thank you to all of you who support us and listen to the podcast. We really hope you enjoy the series finale.

If you’d like to keep listening over the break we will be continuing to produce bonus episodes over on Patreon.
