Baz Luhrmann Talks Elvis Presley, 30 Years of Romeo + Juliet, Leonardo DiCaprio and New Film "EPiC"
Feb 2601:13:29Tap to summarizeWe were beyond thrilled to welcome Aussie auteur Baz Luhrmann on the couch! For 30 plus years he’s been wowing audiences with his fantastical, rich, music-heavy world-building — from ‘Romeo + Juliet’ to ‘Moulin Rouge,’ ‘Great Gatsby’ to his Austin Butler-starring Elvis biopic, and now he’s taking Elvis on an international tour via his new concert film ‘EPiC.’ In the process of creating 2023’s ‘Elvis’ Baz and his team unearth 50 plus unseen reels of footage from Elvis’ heyday, performing in Vegas in the early 70s. Alongside Peter Jackson’s team (who restored the Beatles footage for ‘The Beatles: Get Back’) and a coterie of experts, Baz brought the concert footage and backstage scenes back to life, painstakingly piecing together and syncing audio, and in some cases orchestrating the audio where it was lost. We get into all of that (and the accompanying soundtrack). The whole shebang is narrated by Elvis, in his own, hitherto unheard words, thanks to a 45 minute interview that also lay languishing in the Kansas salt mine vaults with the rest of it. After Elvis’ manager Colonel Tom Parker blocked him from going on international tours throughout his career, the King is finally hitting the road outside of America! And then there’s all the other stuff we talked about: Bowie, Mick Jagger, his love of abiding K-pop (and the genre’s connection with Elvis), his Oscar-winning wife and partner in crime Catherine Martin, 30 years of ‘Romeo + Juliet,’ working with Leonardo DiCaprio as a teenager and then a 30-something, roaming around Graceland when it was closed for business, his upcoming film about Joan of Arc (‘Jeanne d’Arc’), growing old disgracefully and so much more.

Mumford & Sons Talk New Album 'Prizefighter,' Hozier, Gracie Abrams, and "The Banjo Song"
Feb 2000:36:49Tap to summarizeIt’s been barely seven months since we last had Mumford & Sons in the studio but hot on the heels of ‘Rushmere’ and they’re back with ‘Prizefighter,’ a deeply collaborative record featuring Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Gigi Perez, and produced by The Nationals Aaron Dessner. Turns out spending time in Paris with Pharrell Williams was a key spark for inspiration on this sixth album. The trip talk about all this, plus Brandi Carlile texting Marcus lyrics she literally dreamt, existential chats with Marcus’ son, their Railroad Revival tour that took place last summer and featured the likes of Lainey Wilson, Maggie Rogers, and Nathaniel Rateliff, plus so much more.

Boy Throb Talks “Finger,” Darshan’s Immigration Status, & Premiere New Single “Can’t Stop the Throb”
Feb 1801:03:59Tap to summarizeWith their pink velour tracksuits, bright yellow sneaks, belting vocals and earnest pleas to help get their fourth member Darshan an O1 visa to join them from India, Boy Throb are then band no one realized they needed, but oh boy are we throbbing for them now. The trio — Evan Papier, Anthony Key, and Zachary Sobania join us in the studio for the first time, alongside new manager Gino. What happened to manager Jeff? What’s up with Dana the lawyer? How did this troupe of musical misfits from different corners of America come together and connect with Darshan all the way in Mumbai? Don’t worry, all your questions will be answered… and then some, because we talk to Darshan too. Not only do they perform an acapella rendition of the National Anthem for us (just hours before they harmonize ahead of the LA Kings hockey game), but they dance their way through their upcoming single ‘Can’t Stop the Throb’ — a Zach Sang Show premiere exclusive! We uncover their individual origin stories, what’s up with Anthony’s prior penchant for pirate-poet shirts, the meaning behind their debut single ‘Finger,’ what happened at the Grammys and how they’ve dealt with online bullying. We hope those days of getting trash-talked are behind them because these guys can really sing. Give them all the love — cos you can’t stop the throb!SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Avan Jogia Talks ‘Victorious’ and Beck, Engagement to Halsey, Dove Cameron and New Series ‘56 Days’
Feb 1601:13:31Tap to summarizeEven though Zach and Avan have known each other socially for 16 years, the pair have never sat down for a formal chat, but now the 34-year-old Canadian-British-Indian actor is in the official hotseat thanks to his new thriller series ‘56 Days.’ Playing the brooding, possibly dangerous, definitely tortured Oliver, starring opposite Dove Cameron, the Prime series is very much in the vein of 90s psycho-sexual classics like ‘Fatal Attraction’ and ‘Basic Instinct.’ The chemistry is combustible and we get into that, how he built the character, intimacy co-ordinators, morality gray areas, and more. Plus he chats about his beginnings in acting, how he snagged the role of heartthrob Beck in ‘Victorious,’ and his relationship with the cast to this day. We also dig into his more leftfield creative endeavors including working with arthouse filmmaker Greg Araki, screenwriting legend Charlie Kaufman, and his own screenplays and directing forays. And… his second poetry collection — ‘Autopsy (of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob)’ with its humor and satire, some of which might have been lost on readers. Naturally it’s impossible not to discuss his fiancée Halsey and their creative and romantic partnership too.

Feb 1300:55:00Tap to summarizeElectronic artist and super star DJ ILLENIUM returns to the studio to discuss his upcoming nine night residency at the Sphere in Vegas which he wrote an entire record for, his sixth LP: ODYSSEY. Of course we have to get into how you prepare for a show like that, a creative challenge that’s both energizing, challenging and ‘spensey. Plus we discuss the art of the drop, going B2B DJing with his wife Lara at their wedding, their working relationship, and the ins and outs of his album full of heavy hitters including Ellie Goulding, Dabin, Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Kid Cudi, and more.

Nick Jonas Talks 'Sunday Best,' Camp Rock, Fatherhood, and Marriage
Feb 900:56:43Tap to summarizeNick Jonas joins us on the couch for on his own for the very first time to discuss his new solo album Sunday Best, a record that reflects on his childhood, how his artistry has changed since becoming a dad, self-criticism, spending time in India with Priyanka’s family, and his current relationship with faith. As Nick puts it, it took two years to make the record but really it took 33 years. Interestingly JP Saxe’s social post about low ticket sales wound up being a catalyst for Nick to reach out… and the beginning of a very fruitful collaboration. And of course we get the skinny on ‘Camp Rock 3’ and what was going through his head during that now-viral Golden Globes video.Stream "Sunday Best" ►►https://tinyurl.com/ymkpwnprSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ejae Talks "Golden," KPop Demon Hunters and "In Another World"
Nov 14Tap to summarizeHot on the heels of our interview with Audrey Nuna — the singing voice of Mira in KPop Demon Hunters — we’ve got Ejae in the hot seat. Her journey to become the singing voice of Rumi is pretty different. The Korean-American singer spent 11 years as a trainee and was dropped before she debuted, ultimately finding her way into songwriting, via Tisch School of Arts, and even returning to the very KPop company who dropped her to pen hits for other acts like Red Velvet, Twice, and Le Sserafim.We get the skinny on what it was really like being K-pop trainee, why she was dropped, what Tisch was like (her classmates included Lauv, Phoebe Ryan, and Fletcher), and how she broke into songwriting, eventually leading to her writing the pop juggernaut that is ‘Golden’ (Grammy nominated!), not to mention a bunch of the other songs on the soundtrack. And let’s just say writing for film is very different than writing for a pop group. Rei Ami, Audrey Nuna, and Ejae have only recently started performing live together and Ejae’s still getting her feet wet when it comes to the stage — it can be panic-inducing — so we also get into that, plus her debut solo single ‘In Another World,’ and so much more!

Miyavi: His Mission to Rock, Perfectionism, New Album ‘Lost In Love, Found In Pain’
Mar 12, 202501:14:14Tap to summarizeJapan’s Miyavi started his career in visual kei band Dué le Quartz, back in 1999 and by the early 2000s he’d struck out on his own, blending rock, pop, and electronic elements with his signature percussive slap guitar technique, earning himself the name Samurai Guitarist. Since then he’s released 14 albums, including last year’s ‘Lost in Love, Found in Pain,’ plus, thanks to acting alongside Angelina Jolie in 2014’s ‘Unbroken,’ he continues his work as an ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. He continues to act — his next role is alongside Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista in ‘The Wrecking Crew’ and now he’s added sake-maker to his string of accomplishments. Oh, and he’s learning Chinese. He popped into the studio for the first time to discuss all this, plus fatherhood, the key to a successful relationship, his mission to bring guitars back, playing villains and doing stunts, his admiration of Benson Boone and Ziploc bags (no really), and much more.

Daniel Seavey | Love, Loss, Sobriety, New Album ‘Second Wind’
Mar 10, 202501:35:13Tap to summarizeA lot has changed since the last time the former Why Don’t We member Daniel Seavey joined us in the studio. When we caught up with the 25-year-old this time round he was fresh from Florida, having testified at the Why Don’t We trial against their former management. Seavey discusses what it was like to be up on the stand, the true toll of WDW’s schedule, and how the rest of the guys are doing. But primarily we’re talking new beginnings and his debut solo album, ‘Second Wind.’ He dives deep into the creation of the record, working alongside songwriter and friend Michael Pollack, playing snippets of demos from ‘Gateway Drug’ and what it was like playing the song ‘If I Ever Get to Heaven’ in front of his best friend, YouTuber Corey LeBarrie’s family for the first time — a song that deals directly with his tragic passing back in 2020. He also opens up about his romance with Kat Castellano (how they fell in love and the many songs she inspired), not to mention rock bottom turning points and getting sober. Plus his journey with his faith (having grown up as a Pastor’s son) and the wild ride that is touring with Benson Boone.Stream "Second Wind" ►► https://tinyurl.com/ypjzyxw5SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uFollow The Zach Sang Show:https://tiktok.com/@zachsangshowhttps://www.instagram.com/zachsangshow/https://twitter.com/zachsangshowhttps://www.facebook.com/ZachSangShow/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Plus, he discusses landing a breakdancing role with zero dance experience, being a dad, Catholic guilt, identity, and dealing with male objectification.Guzman also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his dear friend, choreographer and actor Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who really took him under his wing while working on ‘Step Up.’SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
