  • Matt Hansen on Going Viral & Building an Independent Music Career
    Apr 29 2026

    Ahead of his debut album, Orchid, Matt Hansen joins More or Less with Jess for a vulnerable conversation.

    After a viral TikTok cover of “Godspeed” changed his life overnight, ⁨@matthansen⁩ has gone on to sell out tours across three continents, reach over 6M monthly Spotify listeners, and build his career fully on his own terms as an independent artist. In this episode, Matt opens up about sustaining success in today's music industry while navigating being both CEO and artist.

    We dive into the catharsis of songwriting and how learning to let go has shaped his sense of self. This conversation is a reminder of how embracing discomfort can lead to the most growth.

  • Em Beihold on depression, outpatient therapy & life after Numb Little Bug
    Mar 4 2026

    The last time Em Beihold was on More or Less, her breakout single Numb Little Bug was everywhere. Since then, life has changed and she’s no longer “a little bit tired of life.

    Back with her debut album Tales of a Failed Shapeshifter, Em opens up about depression, jealousy, and the pressure to recreate viral success. She shares her experiences with outpatient therapy, medication, and navigating identity as a 'pop girl'.

    As our first returning guest, Em and Jess discuss growth, healing, and what it really means to be a “mental health advocate."
