In this episode, we're excited to welcome Beatmaker, producer, and multi-instrumentalist edbl to the podcast. Known for his prolific collaborations, edbl has collaborations with over 60 artists, helping to spotlight some of the most exciting up-and-coming talent in the UK. With over 70 million streams and support from platforms like Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, and Jazz FM—not to mention a prestigious Maida Vale session—edbl has solidified himself as a major force in the music scene. He’s also collaborated closely with artists like Odeal, Jelani Blackman, Samm Henshaw, Jay Prince, and Ady Suleiman.

In this conversation, we explore edbl’s journey from balancing side gigs to building a music career that now stands on its own. We also dive into how he translates his songs for live performances, and why going with the flow—rather than overplanning—has been an important asset to his success. Plus, we hear his thoughts on the state of the music industry, his hopes for the future, and the one plugin he couldn’t live without if stranded on a desert island.

Tune in for an inspiring chat with one of the UK's most dynamic producers!
