In this episode, Ryan sits down with Bailey Spinn, the rock artist and social media powerhouse whose POV-style TikTok videos catapulted her into internet fame. Bailey opens up about her creative evolution — from crafting viral storylines that captured millions of viewers to finding her footing as a bold, unapologetic voice in rock music. She gets candid about the pressures of sudden fame, learning to tune out the hate, and staying authentic in an industry that loves to box people in.
Bailey also dives into her debut album Loser — a cathartic, guitar-driven record that reclaims the word with pride — and gives an inside look at what’s next for her sound. The conversation peels back the layers of her artistry, exploring how she’s redefining what it means to be a modern rock star in the digital age. It’s raw, inspiring, and full of heart — just like Bailey herself.

This week, I’m joined by songwriter and pop artist Lily Kincade, who steps into the studio to talk about her long-awaited debut album, Cinematic — a project years in the making. We dive into the lore behind the music: the characters, the easter eggs, the hidden storytelling woven through every track, and the personal moments that shaped the record. Lily opens up about her ten–year journey — from writing songs in her bedroom to crafting a fully realized world through her art — and what it means to finally bring her story to life on her own terms. If you love world-building pop, nostalgia-soaked lyrics, and artists who blur the line between film and music, this episode is for you. Welcome to the Lily Kincade Cinematic Universe.

This week, Ryan sits down with Sophie Powers: the Gen Z pop juggernaut with a sharp tongue, killer style, and a vision that’s completely her own. Known for pushing boundaries and doing things her way, Sophie opens up about walking away from her label, finding her sound again, and creating music purely for her fans, the Powerpuffs. She talks about what independence really means to her and how taking control of her art has changed everything.
But of course, it wouldn’t be a Ryan Lu episode without a little chaos... Sophie confronts Ryan for “copying her style,” clears the air on her so-called beef with Lionel Richie, and teases what’s coming next in her new chapter of music. It’s unfiltered, funny, and full of that signature Sophie energy that makes her one of the most exciting voices in pop right now.

Grant Knoche has been living the pop dream since he was ten—touring the country with Kidz Bop and performing for thousands before he even hit middle school. Now, he's all grown up and stepping into a bold new chapter with music that’s personal, emotional, and true to who he is. On this episode of Delulu with Ryan Lu, Grant shares the story of coming out to his dad through a song, how Adele has influenced him from a young age, and what fans can expect from his new era.
We talk about the power of staying delulu in the best way, dreaming without limits, and the GRAMMYs performance he's manifesting. From full-circle moments to twinning with Ryan (theyre both virgos!), this episode takes us through all the grant-lore before his next chapter begins.

Delulu welcomes David Maris — former top-ranked Wall Street analyst and co-founder of Wall Street Beats, a fast-growing investment media platform offering real-time insights from financial veterans. David shares the wild ride behind launching a startup that aims to democratize high-level market analysis, including what it’s like to work with names like Herb Greenberg and Beats by Dre co-creator Steven Lamar.
But this episode goes way beyond stocks. David opens up about the two times he was sued for $4.6 million, what he learned from being at the center of legal and financial chaos, and the surprisingly steady dad wisdom that helped him navigate it all. Whether you’re an aspiring founder, a finance nerd, or just a little delulu yourself, David’s story is a reminder that sometimes reinvention comes with risk — and sometimes that risk looks like a lawsuit.

This week on the show, I’m joined by the magical Natasha Slayton — singer, intuitive, and member of the iconic girl group GRL. We dive into Lucky GRL Syndrome — the powerful way Natasha manifested her dream life, including making a list of everyone she wanted to work with (yes, Max Martin was on it and paid her the highest of compliments in their recording sessions), and watching it all unfold in real time. From being handpicked by Robin Antin to join GRL, to performing worldwide and reclaiming her identity through every chapter, Natasha’s story is a masterclass in trusting your vision, even when the road gets hard.
We also go deep on navigating grief, healing in public and in private, and learning how to adapt when life throws you curveballs. Natasha opens up about how she’s redefined success, the spiritual practices that keep her grounded, and even gives us a peek into her work as a lip print reader — an unexpected and magical gift she now shares with others. This conversation is empowering, expansive, and a beautiful reminder that manifestation isn’t just real — it’s written in your soul.

THEE Original Labubu tattoo artist CryBabyHunter — AKA Hunter Chao — joins Delulu with Ryan where he tattoos delulu labubu live while we talk everything from his personal lore to astrology. Based in LA and completely self-taught, Hunter went from outsider to one of the most in demand names in the game, known for his delicate linework, internet-breaking Labubu pieces, and for tattooing none other than Ice Spice (who also gave him a tattoo in return).
We dive into his journey navigating the tattoo world on his own terms, how he squashed his beef with Inked Magazine, and how being a petty Virgo shaped both of our creative paths. It’s raw, funny, and filled with heart, just like Hunter’s work.

This week, I’m joined by the brilliant and tender soul behind Pidgin Doll — artist and dollmaker Joshua David McKenney. Joshua opens up about growing up queer in a conservative environment and how creating art became his lifeline — a way to express beauty, identity, and emotion when words weren’t always enough. Through his breathtaking art dolls, he’s built a world where every detail tells a story, and every creation holds a piece of his heart.
We talk about the healing power of creativity, the intersection of queerness and fantasy, and the whimsical world of his mermaid sisters Olive and Anette — characters born from his imagination who might get a life of their own. Joshua also shares what it was like working with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, and how Melanie Martinez became a fan of his work. This episode is a soft, magical exploration of self-expression, resilience, and what it means to build the world you always wished existed — and then invite others to believe in it, too.
