Emo Dad talks to Greg Holden

Season 4 Episode 2 - Emo Dad talks to Greg Holden.Matt and James sit down with the first guest of 2023, the lovely Mr Greg Holden. Greg is a singer-songwriter, born in the UK, but now residing in the States. Greg has had the most incredible career both as a solo artist and with his writing. Greg first enjoyed success back in 2009 as he grew a following on Youtube, after posting some acoustic songs. After upping sticks and following his dream to New York, his career really took off, leading to huge tours across the States and beyond. Greg achieved an 'accidental' number 1 hit in the Netherlands with 'The Lost Boy', which led to him play in front of a television audience of over 10 million people. We also hear the story of when one of his songs got picked up by American Idol and used for the winner (the brilliantly named Phillip Phillips) in 2012, selling more than 6 million copies and (as I write this) getting over 256 million plays on Spotify! Greg has also been on a major label, released numerous fantastic albums and worked with some legendary producers, writers and musicians. Greg tells us stories of his incredible journey in music, hanging out with the likes of Ace Enders and Tim Armstrong, and details the extreme highs and lows of working in this industry.⁠Tipjar⁠ - If you've enjoyed listening to the Emo Dad Podcast and would like to leave us a little tip towards keeping the Emo Dad lights on, then we will love you forever.
