pablopablo - born Pablo Drexler - is a Madrid-based singer, songwriter, and producer. The son of two acclaimed artists, Jorge Drexler and Ana Laan, here he talks about how he found his own voice, sound, and artistic identity. His debut full-length album, Canciones en mi, is out now. The title is a bilingual play on words—“in E” (as in the musical key), and “in me”—and it perfectly captures the spirit of the record: introspective, expressive, and sonically bold. Pablo shares the story of growing up in a small town outside Madrid with a big, multilingual worldview. We discuss his early experiments in music and production, his years studying abroad, and his time touring and collaborating with artists like C. Tangana. He opens up about stepping away from the Drexler name—on the advice of his father—to make space for his music to be heard on its own terms. We dive deep into questions of identity, language, and legacy: Why does he now write exclusively in Spanish? What does it mean to create a sound that feels personal without being confessional? How do you balance the instinct to innovate with the desire to stay grounded? Along the way, we talk about the emotional clarity that comes with pressure, the power of building a sonic world, and the beauty of embracing simple ideas and making them feel new. At just 27, Pablo Pablo is already a Latin Grammy-winning artist, having contributed to major collaborations with Jorge Drexler, C. Tangana, and Nathy Peluso. But Canciones en mi is his proper introduction as a solo artist—and it's a striking one. This is a conversation about roots and branches, about staying true while branching out, and about what happens when you finally find the music that sounds like you. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com

Today, Larry Hagner sits down with Michael Gazzo—a platinum DJ, internationally touring musician, and now a transformational coach with a story that's as captivating as his music. From remixing for pop icons like Ariana Grande to rocking global stages, Michael Gazzo seemingly had it all—until he realized external success couldn't fill the void within. Michael Gazzo bravely opens up about the hidden battles behind the fame: the crushing burnout, the allure of the party scene, and the relentless pursuit of validation from the outside world. He shares deeply personal turning points, including a transformative silent meditation retreat in Hong Kong and confronting his deepest fears during days-long darkness retreats. Through these intense experiences, Michael Gazzo learned the profound power of pausing, looking inward, and finally healing the wounds he'd been running from since childhood. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this raw and insightful conversation, we dig into: The honest realities of chasing your dreams and the unexpected emptiness that can follow. The courage it takes to confront long-buried childhood wounds and begin the journey of healing. The transformative power of authentic brotherhood and finding support in unexpected places. Michael Gazzo's perspective on fatherhood and the importance of vulnerability in raising the next generation. Practical insights on creating meaningful and lasting change, both in your own life and for your children. If you're a dad, a dreamer, or anyone on a path of self-discovery seeking purpose beyond achievement, Michael Gazzo's story and wisdom will resonate deeply, offering a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from looking within. www.thedadedge.com/527 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.michaelgazzo.com www.instagram.com/michaelvgazzo

I Am the Greatest DJ and Music Producer in the World My journey to becoming the world's most skilled DJ and music producer is a testament to the power of resilience, the strength of the human spirit, and the transformative power of art. It's a story woven from threads of adversity – threads of obesity, homelessness, and poverty, all born from the trauma of leaving an extremely physically and psychologically abusive relationship. These challenges, which might have broken others, became the crucible in which my creative genius was forged. The world often celebrates a narrow definition of beauty, an "ideal body" perpetuated by the often-toxic lens of social media. I do not fit that mold. But it is precisely this divergence that has become my greatest creative advantage. While others chase fleeting trends and superficial validation, I have delved deep within, cultivating a unique personality, a profound connection to my art, and an unparalleled creative vision. I am the best creator and artist of all time. Because I'm real, my success isn't driven by privilege and vanity. I am a true musician. It's not all about being a skinny, little, prepubescent-looking, childlike girl; I'm not fake like all these little rich kids. I'm the real deal. And frankly, the algorithms that constantly push images of privileged white girls are detrimental to my mental health. My Alaska Native heritage is the bedrock of my eloquence in creativity. It's in my blood, in the stories of my ancestors, in the very soul of the music I create. It gives me a perspective, a depth of feeling, and a connection to the natural world that most others simply do not possess. Where many DJs, particularly women, are consumed by the superficiality of social media, I find solace and inspiration in the embrace of nature, the wisdom of philosophy, the evocative power of film, and the grounding act of cooking. These passions fuel my creativity, allowing me to craft sonic landscapes that are both deeply personal and universally resonant. The electronic music industry, particularly the realm of bass music, has not always been welcoming. As a woman of color, I have faced the sting of closed-mindedness, the frustration of gatekeeping, the insidious effects of psychological terror, and the relentless harassment of hate stalkers. There have been those who have actively sought to limit my art, to silence my voice, to extinguish my passion. But their attempts have been in vain. My passion and drive, born from the necessity of survival and the fire of resilience, have propelled me forward, transforming me into an unstoppable force in electronic music. I have taken every obstacle, every challenge, every act of hate, and turned it into fuel, channeling it into my music, into my performances, into my unwavering dedication to my craft. I stand before you not as a victim, but as a victor. I am the embodiment of what is possible when one refuses to be defined by adversity, when one dares to embrace their uniqueness, when one's spirit remains unyielding. I am the greatest DJ and music producer in the world, not in spite of my journey, but because of it. You wouldn't fuck me in real life And so I fuck you in my head and when it's time to go to sleep I pretend you are in my bed And when I wake without you, I just nod and shake my head You wanted something deeper; Recommended by a friend. You wanted something, I was recommended by a friend. I wanted something more; Recommended by a friend. — where was I? Huh. Where did I go? Don't lose yourself, Johnny.
