Welcome to my solo podcast!!! My name is Nicky and I used to work in the entertainment industry for 3 years on the social strategy & marketing side before I ever became a Creator. I am obsessed with analyzing the stories behind Music, Movies, and Marketing. I truly believe the media we consume is so important to our development and how we interact in society. Growing up in the suburbs of Virginia as a very closeted teenager, I remember how isolated I felt. It was Youtube and Music that made me feel scene for the first time. Hopefully I can make someone else feel that way too <3

The Death of the Male Popstar (ft PopSamCam)

We are witnessing the death of the male popstar...

We went from YEARS of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Usher, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Harry Styles... and then just none.

After the rise of Harry Styles, we have yet to see a single male rise to the upper echolon of pop music in nearly a DECADE

However, in 2025 it FINALLY feels like we have some contenders. Sombr, Role Model, Conan Gray, and Troye Sivan have all started to have some of their biggest songs to date.

So what changed? And what does a male artist need to break through in 2025?
