Ep 98 | Conversation with Haiden Henderson
Millennials remember the satisfying karmic story of Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8r Boi.” However, rising artist Haiden Henderson is actually living out those pop-punk dreams with his new single “bleachers.”
After breaking things off with an unsupportive ex, the aerospace engineer turned singer-songwriter found fuel in the heartache to begin his meteoric rise.
Three years and millions of streams in, Haiden is playing sold-out headlining shows and is “blowing out your speakers” one pop hit at a time.
On our latest podcast, we sat down with Haiden Henderson to chat “bleachers,” performing live, and how he’s having a “hell of a good time” with it all.

Ep 97 | Conversation with Leah Mason
When does imitation go from flattery to a case of identity theft? Nashville-based pop singer-songwriter Leah Mason is answering that question with her new single “Klepto.”
A follow up to “YOUR BOYFRIEND SUCKS,” this edgy pop anthem calls out a friend who took a little more than “inspiration” from Mason. “She would subtly ask me about where my clothes were from, and the next week she’d show up in the same thing I had been wearing,” Mason says.
However, this “friend” earned the title of Klepto when, “she eventually started messing around with the people in my life, like talking to guys she knew I liked and inviting my friends to hang out without me. It was like she wanted my life.”
From heartbreak to love and everything-in-between, Mason is capturing “that life” with honesty, relatability, and bite.
On the latest episode of ECHO the podcast, we sat down with the storyteller to chat about the single, her transition from country to pop, and recording her upcoming album in Sweden.

Ep 75 | Conversation with Sabrina Song
On this episode we chatted with alt-pop singer-songwriter Sabrina Song.
It’s one thing to put feelings into words, but Sabrina is a master at putting those feelings into song. Her intimate lyrics find meaning in the most nuanced experiences, while her purposeful instrumentation helps to tell the story.
Her latest single “Doors'' is an example of that brilliant artistry. Through the lyrics, Sabrina contemplates a relationship's toxicity and the times she wishes she advocated for herself. That inhibition is also represented through the purposely restrained melody that never hits the expected explosive chorus.
We sat down and chatted with Sabrina Song about the production of the single, her upcoming EP, and more!
Ep 74 | Conversation with Ben Abraham

However, like a phoenix, he rose from the ashes and coped in the best way he knew how, music. Abraham began pouring some of his most personal thoughts over a baby grand piano.
In 2022, those honest lyrics and soulful melodies have culminated with his sophomore album, Friendly Fire via Atlantic Records.
