This week is a bit sad as it is actually the last Unsigned Radio show and therefore the last Podcast episode.  I started the Unsigned show back in 2008 and I’ve loved discovering new artists and new music and in turn introducing them to you.  Along the way we’ve given many artists their first radio interview, championed them along the way and celebrated their victories with them too.  Please do always support independent artists by following them, buying their music and turning up at their shows and of course sharing and spreading the word about their music – it really does make a difference. So it brings me to our final guest at the end of an era.  This week we get to chat to the wonderful Rachel Jane a talented pop singer and songwriter from Bath in South West England about her new single, My Way, which features Joshua Luke Smith. The single came out just yesterday and she’ll tell us about her new EP which will be out very soon too.  So for the last time, enjoy!

Becca’s new E.P, ‘The Trilogy’, has just been released, and she describes it as a commentary on the roller coaster ride she has been on for the last three years.You’ll hear about her journey as an artist, deciding to focus on gospel music rather than the mainstream, her struggle with staying consistent, and the freedom she’s found in speaking out what she calls ‘her truth’.  We have much to learn from this bright young talent in this honest and inspiring chat.__________________________www.safemusicmanagement.comwww.premierchristianradio.com/unsignedwww.premiergospel.org.uk/unsigned
