My Music Podcast with Graham Coath – featuring Ola Bird
In this episode, Graham sits down with singer-songwriter Ola Bird against the backdrop of Berlin’s creative spirit and the everyday noise of life (yes, even aeroplanes overhead). Ola opens up about her journey between Poland and Berlin, the romance and reality of chasing a music career at 30, and the pressures women face in an industry still shaped by outdated expectations.
They explore themes of hope, resilience, and creativity in the context of streaming, social media burnout, and AI. Ola also shares the story behind her upcoming EP Singles for Singles—a witty, heartfelt collection exploring single life, relationships, and loyalty, including the striking track Pyramids and Rocket Ships.
Expect laughter, honesty, and plenty of ideas about how musicians can find support, spark creativity, and keep their dreams alive—whether through community, collaboration, or even a slice of cheese (you’ll get it when you listen!).
If you love intelligent pop with substance, or if you’ve ever wondered how artists balance passion with pressure, this is an episode not to miss.
