Six Notes of Separation 6l665e

Amala Dlamini never really suited a life of rules and regulations, born into a creative household that encouraged her to express freely from a young age. So, perhaps it comes as no surprise that Amala adopted a stage name in honour of her two favourite things: weed and cats. After hustling in the industry for years before her novelty song 'Mooo!' went viral, Doja Cat has now become one of the most successful female rappers of this century. But when people hear her name, there's often a long list of controversies that follow. What is it that keeps her fanbase so strong after countless resurgences of the '#DojaIsOverParty' tweet? Well later on in this episode, I'm ed by fan, Doja Fantasy, to answer that exact question. Additionally, I'll also be revealing the link between this episode and last episode's 'SZA'- who do you think will be the next artist and what will their connection be to Doja Cat?

In her youth, Solana Rowe did what she could to become estranged from her religion. She ditched wearing a hijab for fear of increased Islamophobia and as a result felt disconnected from her father. But when it came to expressing herself and when it came to laying bare her vulnerabilities through the catharsis of her music, Solana chose to be infinitely linked to Islam by adopting the stage name ‘SZA’. SZA has now become a genre-bending artist, breaking records once set by Taylor Swift and Whitney Houston. Yet there remains to be many who have never heard her name. If you’re one of those people, then welcome to this episode of Six Notes. Not only will we be looking at the links between this episode and last episode’s ‘Chappell Roan’ but we’ll also be jumping head first into how Rowe became the chart-topping musician we now know her as, covering everything from birth to success.

Kayleigh Rose invented her drag queen persona 'Chappell Roan' as a means of embodying the more confident and boisterous version of herself. Making music and performing live became Kayleigh's way to escape from the shame and confinement that came from her conservative and religious upbringing in Missouri. But perhaps something she didn't quite foresee, was the need to return to the quiet life of Kayleigh after she went on to hit worldwide fame last summer. Later, we'll also be hearing from fan Amanda, to learn about why Chappell is so important and how her controversies has affected opinions amongst the fans. As always, I'll be revealing the link between this episode and last episode's 'Role Model', leaving you with the question of what the next link and who the next artist will be!

Born in Maine as 'Tucker Pillsbury', the rapper-turned-singer found music and industry attention from a rather accidental place. With the backing of major musicians and a record deal secured, the only thing in the way of Tucker's success was his paranoia and depression. Riddled with homesickness and sick of L.A, Role Model shot to breakthrough success last year with his sophomore album 'Kansas Anymore'. Once a 'Dorothy', lost and traversing unfamiliar land, it's safe to say that Role Model has most certainly found his yellow brick road back home, gathering a devoted fanbase along the way. In this episode, we'll be exploring the life and music of Role Model, revealing the link between this episode and last episode's 'Gracie Abrams'. Who do you think the next artist will be?

Well things certainly look a little different...Six Notes has had a glow-up and with that comes a new take on the pod. Although you might know Gracie Abrams as the 'bob and bows pop star' that's confidently opened stadium after stadium for Taylor Swift, the singer started her career from a far more insular place instead. Born into a family of success, it's Gracie's hard work and refined talent that's led her to overcome any accusations of being a 'nepo-baby'. From stage fright and bedroom pop to arenas and anthems, I'll be taking you through the life and career of Gracie Abrams, perhaps hearing from a fan along the way... As always, I'll be linking this episode to last episode's 'Adrianne Lenker' and it's for you to ponder what the next link and who the next artist will be.

Born and raised into a Christian cult, escaping with her family at the age of 4 and suffering a life-threatening accident just one year later, it's music and songwriting which Adrianne Lenker has quoted as her means of survival. And whilst some may have taken the control and judgement she was exposed to in her youth and let it inform the way they lived the rest of their lives, Adrianne seems to find her emancipation and liberation through being exceptionally raw and vulnerable in her music. In this way, Adrianne has managed to make that means of survival, a means to success, co-founding the indie-rock/folk band 'Big Thief' as well as embarking on her own solo career. In this episode, we'll be exploring the life and music of Adrianne Lenker, revealing the link between this episode and last episode's 'The National' along the way!

How did this group of five 'sad dads' become associated with pop royalty such as Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers? Well, the answer is simple, it all boils down to band member, Aaron Dessner. Whilst The National, rose to success through their indie rock ballads, it was guitarist and keyboardist Aaron Dessner that continued charging ahead. With his gifted skills in producing music, it wasn't long until Aaron became the songsmith behind some of this decade's biggest albums- his famous Long Pond Studios being a hot spot for hosting the pop industry's most-loved talent. So it's only natural that this episode of Six Notes' focuses not only on the career of the band, but that of Dessner too, revealing the link between last episode's 'Bon Iver' to this week's 'The National', along the way!

"It's like good death- good winter. Things need rest." These are the words of Bon Iver's frontman, Justin Vernon, on why he chose the aforementioned band name. Unlike most artists who are hoping to have their 'big breakthrough moment', Vernon holds far more yearning to be able to hide from the public and so, to metaphorically 'die'. But despite him choosing a band name that he thought could justify his seclusion from the music scene, Justin Vernon has instead pre-established the one thing he was trying to run away from- the permanence of Bon Iver's art and impact. Whilst Justin might get away with resembling the ephemeral winter, it's Bon Iver's music that remains as infinite as the seasons,-welcome to this episode of Six Notes of Separation. Amongst the tale of Bon Iver tale, I'll also be diving into the connection between this episode and last episode's 'Tyler, The Creator' and if you want to put a face to the voice, head over to Youtube to watch the pod there: https://youtu.be/IZiozI9bigA

Two arrests, three bans of entry to three different countries and countless accusations of misogyny and homophobia- you wouldn't think this is the life of Tyler, The Creator, but it is. And this is something that he does so well; Tyler seems to escape all the murkiness of his past with a sense of effortless and aloofness. The respect he's garnered for his work as an artist and a visionary, as well as his undying commitment to defend what he feels is 'right', is what makes Tyler Okonma someone you can't help but love and root for. In this episode of Six Notes, I'll be taking you through the life of Odd Future co-founder, Tyler Okonma, diving into the highs and lows of his success. The link between this week's and last episode's 'Doechii' will also be revealed and I'll leave you wondering who the next artist and the next connection could be... To watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UDB28Rdh-Go

The story of Doechii is nothing without the story of 11-year-old Jaylah Hickmon. For Jaylah, 'Doechii' wasn't a name plucked out of thin air nor was it a persona or a symbol of someone who was in need of an alter ego, 'Doechii' was much more than any of that because Doechii is a mindset that saved an 11-year-old from giving up on what life had to offer. In this episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll be diving into the artist we know as Doechii, she's been all over our algorithms across the past couple of months and for good reason too. She's fresh, she's exciting, she's talented but above everything else, she's a visionary. Learn about how the childhood of Jaylah Hickmon's life lead her to become the innovative artist that is Doechii and as for the rules of Six Notes, I'll be taking you through the connections between the aforementioned and last episode's 'Lana Del Rey'.

Despite being crowned as one of the best American female songwriters of the 21st century, Lana Del Rey has had a career peppered with controversy and public discontent. From being coined as an industry plant to being called out as an artist who 'glamourises abuse', it's safe to say Elizabeth Grant hasn't had an easy time with the fame and attraction her music garners. In this episode of Six Notes, I'll be taking you through the person behind 'Lana Del Rey', a born and raised New Yorker with an adolescence marked by despondency and an existential questioning of what it means to be alive. In other words, I'll be taking you through the life of Elizabeth Grant. I'll explain the link between this episode and last episode's 'Post Malone' and I hope you all me next time for another artist and another link! To watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CyvG6oUuinQ

Austin Post, the renowned rapper and hip hop artist better known as, Post Malone, left college at the age of 18 to move to the music-making scene of LA. Just two years later, he ended up accumulating millions of streams as well as securing collaborations with major artists like Kanye West and 50 Cent. However, Post's time in the public eye has been nothing short of challenging. From being labelled as a 'culture vulture' to battling an addiction to alcohol on his own, it's safe to say that the success and stability Post has made for himself is hard-earned proof that he's better and stronger than ever. In this episode, I'll be explaining how Post Malone is linked to last episode's Morgan Wallen and I'll be back with another episode on another artist- what do you think will connect them to Austin Post?

Morgan Wallen has been deemed as today's ' most controversial country star' but is that a fair title to give him? In this episode of Six Notes, I'll be looking into the life and career of the aforementioned aspiring baseball player-turned musician. I'll be going through the moments of his time in the public eye which lead up to him being 'cancelled' by the internet in 2021, how he responded to the growing discontent and how he's even bounced back into record-breaking success since then. Stay up to date with the podcast to find out how this episode is linked to last episode's 'Zach Bryan' and me next time as I explore another artist- what do you think will be the connection between them and Morgan Wallen?

He captured our hearts with his self-reflective and raw lyrics, he introduced a whole new audience to country music and he gained mainstream success after just two years in the Navy. In this episode, I'll be diving into the life of singer-songwriter Zach Bryan. After a couple of his songs went viral on social media, Bryan was honourably discharged from the Navy to focus on his music career but 2024 has come with a lot of turbulence for the country artist as he faces accusations of being emotionally abusive from his ex-girlfriend and podcaster, Brianna LaPaglia. The question is, how will this (if it even does) affect Zach's career? Stay up to date with the podcast to find out how last episode's 'Diddy' is linked to the country singer and me next episode as I explore another artist- what do you think will be the connection between them and Zach Bryan?

Who some might know as Sean Combs but who others might know as Diddy, the life of this American rapper, producer and entrepreneur has taken quite the turn. Named as one of Time's most influential people in 2005, Diddy now faces over 120 charges of sexual assault, rape and sexual exploitation. It's no lie then that Combs' career has taken a rather drastic beating. To explain how Diddy got to this point, I'll be taking you through his life and career, explaining how this episode relates to last pod's 'Katy Perry' and what my verdict is towards the question "Diddy do it?". If you want a holistic view of it all, the higher you climb, the further you have to fall... To watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/AggWyrCzyss

Let's go back to 1984, before Katy Perry existed but instead in her place was Katheryn Hudson. Not only did her name change, but so did her genre of music; going from making a contemporary Christian record to being deemed as the "Queen of Camp", this is the life of the twenty-teens pop star: Katy Perry. Despite having record-breaking success with her first few albums, Perry has struggled to continue her chart-topping status, landing us with her latest album '143'. Many have been quick to say that this is her worst album yet, leaving us all with the question of what will Katy Perry do next? In this episode, I'll explain how Katy is linked to last episode's 'Olivia Rodrigo' and I'll leave you to ponder who the next artist and next connection will be. Any thoughts?

I knew her as the Disney Channel star but others might recognise her as the teenage pop-princess that took over our 2021 summers: Olivia Rodrigo. From child acting and hometown singing competitions, to selling out arenas after just two albums, Olivia Rodrigo has become one of the youngest and most successful female pop artists to date. But her achievements and accolades haven't come without criticism. Rodrigo seems to attract jealousy and drama, fuelling the talk of many (crap) tabloid headlines, the thing I want to address however, is if it's all necessary. me as I dive into the career and life of Olivia Rodrigo, exploring how she relates to last episode's 'Matty Healy'. Who do you think will be the focus of next episode and what will be their connection to Olivia?

At 13 he ed a school band, by 24 he'd had a number one UK album and had sold out 3 nights at Brixton Academy. With lyrics and music gaining the attention of the Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Awards, it's safe to say The 1975 have become one of the most successful modern-day bands. But with Healy as the frontman, the band has been subject to a lot of heat and a lot of scandal. From Nazism, to misogyny, to racism and to relationships, this is the story of Matty Healy. To find out how The 1975 star is connected to last episode's Charli XCX, make sure to give this episode a listen and watch out for the next episode where I'll be exploring a brand new artist. What do you think will be the link between them and Healy?

It's safe to say that 'Brat' was the soundbite of this summer- things that were once trashy became 'brat', things that seemed ordinary, were now 'brat', and god forbid if you saw anything green because it would, more than definitely, be BRAT. And who do we have to thank for this 'bratification' of pop culture? Charli XCX. In this episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll be taking you to the start of Charli's career before we knew her as the PARTYGIRL she now is. I'll explore why her latest album 'Brat' has transcended the boundaries of music and infiltrated our culture in such an intense way and as for the rules of the pod, I'll be exploring the link between Charli and last episode's 'Ice Spice'. Who do you think will be the focus of next episode and what will be their link to Charli?

Isis Gaston, the 4x Grammy nominated 'Ice Spice', began making music in 2021 after dropping out of uni. By 2022, she had blown up on social media who coined her as the 'rap princess', following in the footsteps of her biggest inspiration and the 'queen of rap', Nicki Minaj. By 2023, Minaj had hopped on a remix for one of Ice's songs and that same summer, they collaborated together on the massive hit from the Barbie movie soundtrack 'Barbie World'. Whilst it's safe to say Ice's rise to fame has been one of speed and success, it's no secret that she finds herself attracting drama with just as much pace. With her 2024 shaping up to look like one of unsteadiness, I'll be explaining what it is that's triggered Gaston's success to fall into a career of conflicting public opinion. In this episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll explain how last episode's, Travis Scott, is connected to Ice Spice- next episode there'll be a new artist with a new link. What do you think will connect them to Ice Spice?
