03. Rob Birch (Stereo MCs) - Memories Embedded in Music History

In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by Rob Birch, the vocalist of Stereo MC's - a hip hop and electronic dance group formed in 1985.

From leaving Nottingham for South London to making music and starting a label, working with Madonna and making all of his childhood dreams come true - this podcast covers it all. His enthusiasm for what he does is contagious as he jumps from memory to memory, sharing the moments when he felt he was making history.

In this podcast, Rob speaks openly about the music he grew up on, from Aretha Franklin to David Bowie, and highlights the importance of seeing musicians stand up for others and speak out against injustice. He also shares the pivotal role that black british musicians played in influencing the development of music, including his own, and how much of the music we listen to today wouldn't exist without it.
