It's almost a case of 'whatever happened to...' with my first guest on Season 5 in 2026. His name is Daniel Merriweather, arguably, one of this country's greatest ever soul singers, producers and writers.

His career has certainly had it's fair share of up's and down's , high's and low's but in 2026 he continues to strive to produce real, uncompromising and ground-breaking music.

He has tasted bona fide chart and commercial success both in Australia and abroad and has rubbed creative shoulders with the likes of uber producer Mark Ronson, the incredible and late Amy Winehouse and the juggernaut that is Adele.

He has also had some interesting encounters with such luminaries as JZ , Beyonce and Clive Davis, but then also some questionable encounters including one with disgraced artist and so-called entrepreneur P. Diddy.

He knows what it's like to play the 'industry game' through his stints living and working in LA, New York and London and his story is as much about survival than it is about the trials and tribulations of navigating your way through the dog-eat-dog jungle of the urban music business. In his first interview in quite a while, we get to hear his stories and what continues to drive him in 2026.
