We're back with a brand new episode where we talk about how we approach the idea of work ethic as creatives - does the hustle culture idea of grinding it out work in the context of making art? We also touch on the joys of helping people get their creative vision over the line. Especially when they are dealing with the struggles that come with being part of a minority, and how we deal with letting our "song babies" go when they are part of someone else' s project.

AND we share a bit of background on our new joint artist release DOMINO -

Welcome to part 2 of Jonatan's conversation with Zahra Deljoui. They touch on learning to be authentic as an artist - focusing on storytelling and writing about what's really going on for us rather than what we think people want to hear. Also the power art can have to fundamentally shift our perception on big things...and how to not fuck up a co-writing session!

Check out Zahra's latest release "Medical Misogyny" here:

We're back after a break and are excited to be diving back in. Kicking off our 2026 with Jonatan's conversation with British-Iranian alt-pop artist Zahra Deljoui, a brilliant songwriter and artist in the queer community. Together they cover topics such as what makes people gel when co-writing, identifying strengths and weaknesses as songwriters, imposter syndrome, and tune bullies.

Welcome to episode 9!
This time, we’re taking a look at our experiences of being signed to music publishers - and the mix of joys and frustrations that come with it. We talk about the opportunities we’d never have had without a publishing deal, as well as the experience of getting lost in the system when you’re signed to a huge global publisher. It was a really fun conversation, as always - and we even found time to write and record another little song-starter ditty for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 8 – featuring part two of Charlie's chat with Jessica Greenfield of Wonder 45, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, and The Kondoors. Lots of interesting stuff came up: identity crises, the blessing/curse factor of having a creative brain, and the ways women in the music industry have to deal with crazy amounts of BS... all this and much more.

Jonatan and Charlie also circle back to how Jonatan is feeling about his new album "<3 på svenska" now that it’s out in the world.

We also put together another ditty for you, called Hot Mess. As always, we’re pretty excited about it!

Welcome back! We have a treat for you this time. Charlie recorded an interview for the podcast with a singer, songwriter, and artist he’s known and admired for a long time - the vocal force of nature that is Jessica Greenfield of The Kondoors, Wonder 45, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. It’s a deep chat covering the highs and lows of a life in music, the additional layers of bullshit that women have to deal with, and the challenges of being a creative parent whose work involves touring the world. (We covered so much ground that we decided to make it a two-parter.)

Jonathan and I have also created another song starter that we’re really excited about. It’s called “Domino,” and it’s definitely a vibe. Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 6 - The Songwriting Dad. This time we kick off with some essential chat about our shared love of high end crisps, then get into the real stuff - what it’s like trying to be a present, hands-on dad while keeping the creative life and music career going. The highs, the struggles, and how maybe it can even make us better versions of ourselves.

We also collaborated on a new song idea that started with one of Charlie’s riffs. (working title Totally Toto) Jonatan took it and ran with it and honestly, we think it could turn into something pretty special.

Next episode: part one of our interview with Jessica Greenfield from Wonder 45 and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. Don’t miss it!

In this episode we talk about Jonatan’s status as a person who is immune to the charms of The Beatles, who are Charlie’s favourite band of all time. We also discuss the craziness of deciphering briefs from record companies and Charlie’s recent experience of running a songwriting camp in Berlin, and what we love about attending camps as a writer. And we bring you a fresh song starter ditty based on a guitar idea of Charlie's. Enjoy!
