Some songs don't just get stuck in your head—they set up camp in your chest.
In this episode, we're joined by South African pop artist Charlie Void, whose high-gloss sound and emotionally raw lyrics are redefining what queer pop can be. From the dancefloor to the depths of emotional survival, Charlie shares how music became both an escape and a mirror—how it held them through moments of heartbreak, identity struggle, and creative rebirth.
We talk about:
* The pressure to perform happiness (and what happens when you stop)
* How music like Sia’s “Chandelier” helped shape Charlie’s emotional honesty
* Turning personal chaos into connection—and catchy choruses
* The relationship between queerness, visibility, and vulnerability in pop
* The liberation of making music that’s as glittery as it is gutting
Whether you’ve danced through your own breakdown or found healing in a song you couldn't stop repeating, this one’s for you.
Charlie doesn’t just make bangers—they make you feel. Loudly. And unapologetically.
