UNSUNG – the Audiomovers Podcast
In this very first episode of UNSUNG - the new podcast from Audiomovers - our hosts Jocelin Francis and Matt Soczywko sat down with UK producer/songwriter/engineer of the moment Eight8 just ahead of the release of the global smash #1 album Central Cee - You Can't Rush Greatness. The guys discussed how an intro from Chip meant he came to work with Central Cee, how producers from the countryside have a unique insight into making beats, achieving his dream of moving to London and working with D-Block Europe and Nafe Smallz, his amazing ability to program drums and 808s in silence, and why he always makes at least five beats a day. ➡️ Follow Eight8 on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/eight8beats
