Podcast Description
"loves music" is a podcast, hosted by me, Julian Jones, that celebrates music and the moments that made us fall in love with it. It’s for music-lovers who, despite the demands of life, remain passionate about their beloved albums and artists and still seek to discover new talent, whether online, internationally, or within the sweaty crowded bars of your hometown. It’s in us! We don't know why we do it; we just do… and we refuse to grow out of it.
Every Thursday, I interview artists past and present about making music: their inspiration, their challenges, and the moments they will never forget.
If you love or even have a dysfunctional relationship with music, come along, and share this show with someone who loves music.

Julian distills 69 episodes into 10 lessons every independent musician needs to hear.
After nearly two years of sitting across from independent artists, producers, and creatives, Julian steps behind the mic solo to share what the show has taught him. From why the music business and playing music for fun sit on opposite sides of the spectrum, to the real meaning behind “believe in yourself,” to the Danny Beissel line that changed how he thinks about control, Julian gets into the practical and philosophical lessons that kept surfacing across 70 conversations.
IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO:
- Why your taste, not your talent, is actually your biggest advantage as an artist
- The real difference between playing music for fun and treating it like a business
- Balance, obsession, and why patience might be the answer to both
- “You hold tighter with a looser grip:” the Danny Beissel line Julian can’t stop thinking about
- The three barriers holding you back: ignorance, laziness, or cowardice (and what to do about each)
