In this episode of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with powerhouse vocalist and genre-bending artist Atlus for a raw and honest conversation about life, struggle, and redemption through music. Originally from Colorado, Atlus shares the roots of his soulful sound, his journey from the tattoo world to the stage, and how a chance encounter with Jelly Roll completely changed the trajectory of his career. From sleeping in his car to building a global fanbase online, Atlus opens up about the highs and lows of chasing a dream and the importance of staying true to yourself. The two discuss the stories behind Atlus’ newest EP Secondhand Smoke, available now everywhere, and the lessons he's learned about art, family, vulnerability, and survival.

Secondhand Smoke is out now on all streaming platforms.
