In this episode, we sit down with a hitmaker whose story is as powerful as his talent—a writer who seems to carry magic with him wherever he goes: Ferras. Born in Jordan and raised between cultures, Ferras shares how early childhood turbulence shaped his fearless approach to life and music. Escaping into his imagination, he built a world of his own—one where a star was born.

From cold-calling record execs and confronting industry giants to rising above bullying tied to his identity, Ferras turned every hardship into art. He opens up about the transformative friendship with Katy Perry that changed the course of his career, the chosen musical family he’s built in the industry, and the deep spiritual grit that fuels his creativity.

With a sense of humor that can read any room, Ferras reminds us that a true creative’s superpower is staying rooted in their truth. He’s not just a songwriter—he’s a full-spectrum experience of emotion, authenticity, and uncharted artistry.

This episode is a raw, inspiring look at a one-of-a-kind creator who doesn’t just enter a room—he lights it up.
