About this listen

Welcome to the Behind The Artist Podcast. I founded Behind The Artist back in March 2023 and have since interviewed an array of fantastic pioneering artists, providing an insight behind the artist and their work. I am fascinated by learning the process of how one's imagination can transpire into a work of art and become a masterpiece, treasured by society for years to come. As I delve into the personal lives of artists, I will discover the highs of pursuing their passion as a career and explore the challenges they may endure as an a modern society.
