from My Music · host Graham Coath
My Music Podcast – Graham Coath with Bea Elmy MartinIn this episode of My Music, Graham Coath sits down with one of the UK alternative scene’s most quietly compelling voices, Bea Elmy Martin.London-born and carving her own lane, Bea’s music doesn’t shout for attention. It draws you in. Ethereal vocals, brooding electronics and a kind of emotional precision that feels less like performance and more like presence. As Graham puts it early on, it’s the kind of music you find yourself returning to when you need to feel grounded… or just a little more at peace What unfolds is less an interview and more a conversation about feeling.They talk about:– Growing up on soul greats like Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, and how that shaped Bea’s ear for emotion– Writing as a form of journaling… turning overwhelming moments into something tangible– Festival memories, community, and why music still feels almost spiritual when it’s shared live– The reality of finding your voice as an artist… including the very honest truth that the first songs are usually terrible– The balance between creating for yourself and not getting pulled off course by outside noiseThere’s a warmth to this conversation that mirrors Bea’s music. Moments of humour, stories about early gigs and Glastonbury, and reflections on what it actually takes to keep creating when everything around you is pushing for speed, visibility and instant results.Bea also opens up about her recent work, which includes Anouk — a deeply personal track that captures friendship, distance, and emotional growth in a way that feels both intimate and expansive.This is an episode about patience. About trusting your own process. And about the kind of artistry that doesn’t rush… but stays with you.A thoughtful, human conversation with an artist who is building something real, one song at a time.
