Episode 32: Steff Burn... Making music from experiences!

Steff Burn is no ordinary singer/songwriter! Aged two he underwent several hours of surgery to rebuild his skull - and the scars that the operation left brought many an unkind comment during his school years.Neurodiverse and diagnosed with ADHD, the Swansea student has battled his way through the local music scene to become a regular and respected member of the local gig circuit. His talents (and bare-faced cheek) prompted Libertines' frontman Pete Doherty to invite Steff to open for him and Steff was back on the Bunkhouse bill recently with other city bands The Stray Pursuit, Freefall and ZATNM.Steff's lyrics come from his own experiences - they are sometimes gritty, raw and about topics unlikely to find their way onto pop radio playlists. But that's not what Steff Burn is looking for. It's not what he's about. He won't trade his authenticity for passing popularity.In a podcast that was a lot of fun to record, Steff tells Jack and Ant all about his first guitar, how his personality changes when he steps out on stage, his relationship with his mother, and of his EP hopes for the future.It's all here - well almost! What happened in Margate - unfortunately - stays in Margate!Content warning: This episode contains several swear words, as well as reference to adult themes that include suicide. It may not be for everyone.
