Julian le Play joins the podcast! 🎙️
The Viennese musician opens up like rarely before: about his journey from 10-year-old Kiddy Contest kid to pop star, his breakthrough after "Helden von morgen," and why his breakup song "Zwei Herzen" tells one of life's most painful truths: You have to go through it – there's no way around the pain.

Julian also reveals what really gets earned in the mysterious pop business – from streaming and live concerts to royalties from AKM, Austria's music rights society (and what Ö3 pays per minute!). He talks about his time as an Ö3 host, why he preferred the late-night astrology show "Sternstunden" with Gerda Rogers over the morning show "Wecker," and why Austropop, from Danzer to Fendrich, is more popular than ever among 20-somethings.

An honest, humorous, and deep conversation about music, success, pain, and authenticity. 🎶
