Singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer Quint Starkie joins us from his UK tour to talk about music, meaning, and finding his true voice. From growing up in Lancashire to playing Hollywood clubs, and from house concerts in Sweden to emotional returns to the UK, Quint shares his journey with warmth, humour, and honesty.
🎶 Hear about:
- His early days learning classical guitar
- A life-changing offer on a yacht in Norway
- Recording with Francis Dunnery, (It Bites) and learning to “be authentic”
- The creative process behind singles like Georgie and That’s When It Gets You
- Why “Brightness in My Soul” brings audiences to tears
- Finding beauty in tea, scones, and sausage rolls
Quint also reflects on AI, DAWs, and why songwriting still matters in the age of streaming.
🎸 Plus: behind-the-scenes stories from his current tour with Dorie Jackson and Remco Engels, and what's next for his third album.
And finally what got me about this interview was the sheer joy that Quint talked about. Playing with people he loves and seeing how his songs delight audiences as he takes them on a shared musical journey!
