This week I have friend and fellow drummer Chase Vernon, when I first met him my old band did shows with his old band Super Whatevr, and we’ve been friends ever since. Since that band dissolved, he’s played for bands such as: Magic Whatever, Garzi, Royal & The Serpent, and now is currently playing drums for the band Games We Play.We talk about how he got his start, how he’s continued to get the next gig, and what it’s like being a hired drummer. We also share a rehearsal spot together, which I’m stoked about.

Ryan is one of the coolest people I know and his knowledge of music is out of this world.
We had an awesome chat with independent artist Marieme. She has been so creative in the way she releases music and gains traction! It’s a fascinating listen! Marieme explains how she got signed to Universal publishing, getting an Apple placement, going viral in Brazil thanks to some clever marketing, being 3D scanned so she can perform in the metaverse as well as growing up in a household in Africa whereby she was banned from music!
It’s never a bad time to discover a new band or artist. Somewhere out there, in either a basement, garage, or make-shift studio, a group of people are sitting around writing songs and deciding to start a new band. You never know which one of those artists might just be the next biggest thing in the world. It is our job, here at idobi Radio, to find these acts and expose them to you.
