EPISODE 5 - JODY LLOYD AKA. TRILLION - NZ HIP HOP ARTIST

In this episode we talk to Jody about his emergence as a natural accented hip hop artist in New Zealand. Getting signed to a major label in the early stages of his career and dealing with a local hip hop community that didn't always agree with his style and approach. We also discuss what it means to be an artist and the difficulties one faces when trying to self-produce, promote and perform original music. This one goes deep. Jody opens up in a really vulnerable way. And his dry wit and hilarious stories had me doubled over with laughter quite a few times during the interview. Through out the interview you'll hear a selection of Jody's back catalogue of music.
