In this reflective and quietly powerful episode, Julia sits down with long-time friend and cultural changemaker Damian Baetens. From a spontaneous jukebox moment that ignited a lifelong passion for music, to navigating the highs and lows of the industry, Damian shares the people and pivotal moments that shaped his journey.
He recounts his early years in Manchester’s vibrant scene, what it meant to move to London and work alongside music industry legends, and how a return to the North East brought not only creative clarity, but love, fatherhood, and a sense of home. From his role in supporting over 15,000 startups to launching a nostalgic DJ event in his fifties, Damian’s story is a reminder that legacy isn’t just about milestones—it’s about the people, places, and choices that make us.
A story of reinvention, music, and finding your place in the world.
