In this special New Year episode, we ask one of our all time favourite former DROPPED guests - artist, producer, songwriter and entrepreneur TommyD - to share some wisdom for the year ahead.

With over 9 billion streams to his name, work with top artists “from Kylie to Kanye,” and multiple successful business ventures, Tommy has learned a thing or two. This episode is adapted from a piece on his Substack and he recorded it especially for you.

Go show him some love and give his Substack a follow to say thanks and receive regular wisdom from TommyD.

Happy New Year!

Much love, Matt & Greg

In this week’s episode, Greg and Matt sit down with legendary music producer TommyD, whose near-endless list of credits includes Tom Jones, Beyoncé, Catatonia, Noel Gallagher and even Right Said Fred.

We trace Tommy’s rise from South London’s music shops and clubs to the global stage, including some brilliant Tom Jones anecdotes and the story of how a demo tape exchange with Right Said Fred catapulted him into the big leagues.

Tommy shares the philosophies and hard-won lessons that have guided his journey through multiple careers, from hitmaker to entrepreneur to industry changemaker. We also dive into what’s next in music, touching on Web3, AI and how indie skills may just give us all the edge.

After an unplanned break, we’re back and catching up on everything from tech to timber. We dive into how the latest wave of AI music tools are already making their impact on music (and lately even inspiring Greg), and Matt shares what he’s learned building a cabin studio from the ground up - because apparently being an indie musician now means also becoming a part-time builder. Don't forget Greg’s new protest anthem ‘Off With Their Heads’ - will it get him arrested, deported, or just more shadow banned than he is already?
