Rapper, hip-hop producer and multi-instrumentalist from New Jersey Eléwa joined me on my latest Soho Radio Music Discovery show today.

Eléwa has been making waves with her track Sayin Nothin which has been blowing up.  She was on her first visit to the UK to play shows in London and Brighton. In this conversation, her first international broadcast interview ever, she discusses producing the track, the visuals for it, what it means to her, about being truly independent as an artist and future plans.

Watch it below on my You Tube channel or listen back to the show on Mixcloud. More videos with Frances Lion, Warmduscher, Kloyd, Art School Girlfriend, All Them Witches, Daudi, Alice Russell and many more. Hit subscribe if you can. More soon!

The latest guest on my monthly Music Discovery programme on Soho Radio is the UK Bournemouth-raised, London-based singer songwriter Frances Lion.

Frances Lion AKA Beth Lowen speaks to me all about coming back to a feeling of being 'home' metaphorically and literally as she started writing her latest batch of music with her long-time collaborator and brother Sam Lowen in their parent's house during the pandemic.

She's shared new singles Misbehave and Castaway from this new era of music, with the single Home and accompanying video released in 2021. She's a brilliant talent so go and check out her music. She tells us there'll be more singles and an EP this year. The full video of our conversation is below as well as the show link on Mixcloud.

You can also listen back to my recent interviews with Moonchild Sanelly, Lawrence Hart, Ben Romans-Hopcraft from Warmduscher, Kloyd, Alice Russell, Art School Girlfriend, 86TVs and many more by scrolling down.

This month's guest on Music Discovery is the London band Industry Standard.

I've been championing them over the last year on the show playing their string of great singles and they are one of my Ones to Watch in 2025 so singer Gabby and drummer Tim joined me in the studio to chat.

They discuss their run of shows from supporting Warmduscher at the iconic 100 Club to their Moth Club headliner, how their interactive shows evolved, their unique brand of "wonky tonk swamp pop" for an album and more touring in the UK and Europe this year.

You can also check out past interviews on the channel with guests including Moonchild Sanelly, Warmduscher, Alice Russell, Art School Girlfriend, Joy Anonymous, Kloyd, Daudi, Nuha Ruby Ra, Julia-Sophie, Pigeon, All Them Witches and many more.

December's show guest was Ben Romans-Hopcraft from Warmduscher. Ben's been in multiple bands from Kindness to Insecure Men, Miss Tiny with super producer Dan Carey, producing for lots of other artists and he's a key part of Warmduscher as their bassist and co-producing their most recent fifth studio album Too Cold To Hold.

He joined Georgie in the studio on her Soho Radio Music Discovery monthly programme just before Christmas. The band were fresh off their UK and European tour with a massive London Troxy show to finish and he chatted all things Warmduscher, Miss Tiny, producing, what it would be like for WD if they were starting out now, writing, album inspiration as well as bringing in an incredible Stevie Wonder vinyl from The Secret Life of Plants.

This month I had the South African musician Moonchild Sanelly in the studio on my Music Discovery show on Soho Radio.

Moonchild Sanelly releases her third studio album Full Moon on January 10th 2025 and has been in the UK on tour in recent weeks so dropped by the studio. This was such a fun conversation. Moonchild covers all things from the making of the album, her journey coming up in music in the Durban poetry scene and a more alternative scene in Johannesburg, juggling living out her dreams and being a mum.  We discuss being Scorpio sisters ;-) and how Moonchild achieves her future ghetto funk sound and the epic signature energy in her music as well as the massive collaborative single from this year 'Big Man' with Self Esteem.  Fans will be excited to know she tees up that another track they did together is going to see the light of day.

She returns in March for a full UK tour. Grab your ticket. Not to be missed!

Watch the whole conversation here and past interviews this year on the Georgie Rogers Presents You Tube channel with the likes of Lawrence Hart, Julia-Sophie, Alice Russell, Daudi, Kloyd and many more.

Georgie will be back on Soho Radio on Tuesday 17th December at Midday-2pm with Warmduscher coming in.

This month's guest on my Music Discovery radio show on Soho Radio is the multi-instrumentalist, producer and beat maker Lawrence Hart. He's fresh off the back of two singles released on Domino Records' Double Six 'Hear Ur Heartbeat' and 'Just Belong' as well as some bootleg edits including a smasher with Mera Bhai on a Jungle edit of Girls Aloud 'Sound of the Underground'.

It was great to hear more about his music, craft and future plans.  Watch the video of our conversation below or listen back to the show on the Mixcloud link.

This month's guest interview on my Music Discovery show on Soho Radio is the singer-songwriter Hayden Thorpe. 

The former frontman of Wild Beasts releases his third solo album Ness on 27th September 2024 via Domino Recordings. 

The concept album of sorts was inspired by the writing of Robert MacFarlane about Orford Ness, a National Trust site in Suffolk which has been re-wilded since it was a nuclear test site during the world wars and cold war. 

Hayden shares the stories of making of the album, its contributors, the sonic world he created, a love song about lichen and moss! on 'She', spending time at Ness while writing and plans for what's next. 

Watch more videos on the Georgie Rogers Presents You Tube channel with artists including Art School Girlfriend, Kloyd, Alice Russell, Fat Dog, Warmduscher, Squid, Sofia Kourtesis, Nuha Ruby Ra, All Them Witches, Dusky and more. 

My next guest on my Music Discovery programme on Soho Radio is the very talented singer songwriter and producer Julia-Sophie, an English-French artist based in Oxford. 

She has finally released her wonderful debut album Forgive Too Slow on Ba Da Bing! Records. 

We had such a lovely conversation about the record and how the record almost stayed abandoned on a dropbox link forever, nearly giving up music all together, her psychotherapy studies and much more.

I've supported Jules from the beginning of her solo career and so it was dreamy to finally meet her IRL and have her on the show.​

On this month's Music Discovery I was joined in the Soho Radio studio by the producer Kloyd ahead of the release of her new EP Høurglass out June 7th on Cross Country Records.

We talk all about that, her start in music, future plans, the live show, California road trips and get nostalgic about hugging the speakers at Sub Dub nights in Leeds back in the day!

Kloyd has already supported Barry Can't Swim and played shows with pals Jacana People, previous guests on the show. She's absolutely one to watch.

Video and show link below. Thanks for watching! Back soon with more.

For this month's interview I had a real legend of UK music on the show Alice Russell. She has just released a new studio album "I Am" on Tru Thoughts and is fresh from a headline show at London's Village Underground.

The album was created with some big life changes and losses in the rearview mirror for Alice, her journey into motherhood at the same time as her father passing away. She spoke so generously about grief and the themes on her most personal record yet. The album is really stunning and in this conversation from my Music Discovery programme on Soho Radio we speak about making the record, the last ten years between albums, how the music industry has changed since Alice started, whether Alice influences her children's music taste and her plans for touring I Am.
