Here it is! The first episode of Good Job Podcast, Season Two. I was super pleased to have vocal coach to the stars and my friend and mentor Joshua Alamu on to start the season.
Not only does he teach some of the world's top singers, Little Mix, Rita Ora and Kelly Jones from Stereophonics but he is also founder and director of Ultimate Artists, a development camp for music artists entering the industry and is designer of Vocal Tubes.
In this inspirational episode, I chat with Josh about his journey from litter picker to vocal coach, his thoughts on how we can achieve a mindset for success and what he thinks makes a great voice.
I'd love to know your thoughts on the first episode!
