My Music with Graham Coath – Featuring Ashton Nyte

In this compelling and delightfully candid episode of My Music, Graham Coath welcomes back the enigmatic and ever-creative Ashton Nyte—musician, producer, and darkwave pioneer—along with a surprise guest appearance from his feline co-producer, Willow. 🐾

Ashton joins us from his musical lair to talk all things touring, recording, and staying creatively alive in an industry that’s both magical and maddening.

🎸 In this episode:

• The real economics of touring in 2025 (hint: it's not glamorous)
• Why artists need to talk more about money, support, and sustainability
• The rebirth of physical music and the soul of vinyl
• Creative burnout, clean living, and gym therapy
• The wide musical world of Ashton—from goth and glam to Neil Diamond and Nina Simone
• Why Kate Bush made him want to be a magician, and how David Bowie helped shape his artistry

Plus, we dip into the awkward but essential topic of self-promotion in the TikTok era and explore why anti-content might just be the most honest art form around.

🎶 New music? Oh yes. Ashton talks about the latest Awakening release, anniversary editions, the balancing act between art and algorithms, and why you should always tour with people you like (and ideally cats).

💡 You’ll laugh, nod along, and probably want to dig out your old Suede records afterwards.

📣 If you love music beyond the charts, this one’s for you.
