“What you look like does not define what kind of music you can make.” – The Paradox

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

vendredi 9 octobre 2026 • Durée 42:49

The Paradox is reclaiming the pop-punk scene, and their rise has been anything but ordinary. Formed in July 2024, the band went viral almost overnight, gaining over 100K followers within their first month and earning opening slots for Green Day and Jack White, plus a performance at When We Were Young Festival and playing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk.

On this episode of Have I Made It?!, The Paradox gets candid about what it’s like to experience success at full speed. From the moment they first heard their music on the radio to being accused of being industry plants, Eric Dangerfield, Donald “Rayman” Bryant, Christopher “Xelan” Bernard, and Percy “PC3” Crews reflect on building something they believed in, even when they weren't sure the world would get it.

The band shares how they found each other through Facebook, what it felt like for drummer PC3 to play as an opener for Jack White when he had never been to a large live concert before, and why they hope their journey inspires more people of color to find their place in alternative music.

Listen to the latest episode of Have I Made It?!, Sofar’s series featuring honest conversations with artists about success, the journey behind it, and everything in between.

“The moment I signed was amazing. It felt like a lottery win.” – Martin Luke Brown

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mercredi 30 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:07

For Martin Luke Brown, signing a record deal at 21 felt like making it.

Growing up in Leicester, England, where money was tight, locals already thought he had “made it.” But behind the excitement, he was learning that someone else’s definition of success doesn’t necessarily become your own.

In this episode of Have I Made It?, Martin reflects on signing his first record deal, studying to become a therapist, and how lockdown gave him unexpected time to develop his songwriting when the idea of a music career felt uncertain.

He also opens up about the cathartic process behind "damn, look at the view!", the role therapy played in exploring heavier themes, and his latest album, "life&death etc", an exploration of mortality that finds the balance between the silly and the profound.

So, has he made it? Maybe that’s a question only Martin can answer.

Listen to full conversation and get to know Martin Luke Brown beyond the music.

“The core of my identity is the music I make and the songs I write” – Prateek Kuhad

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mercredi 16 septembre 2026 • Durée 45:24

“The core of my identity and what I really pride myself on is the music I make and the songs I write” – Prateek Kuhad

So, has he made it? For @prateekkuhadmusic , it depends.

The singer-songwriter has built an international career around intimate, cinematic songwriting, from “Kasoor” and “cold/mess” to his latest album, Full Moon Chamber. But his path to music wasn’t exactly linear.
He studied math and economics at NYU, got fired from a consulting job after graduating, and took it as a sign to finally give music a real shot. He’s now one of India’s most popular and recognized artists.

After sold-out tours and years of growing into his craft, Prateek has had moments where he’s felt like he’s made it. But he still feels there’s more to achieve. For him, ambition is a practice in itself.

At the core of it all is the same thing that started it: the songs. No matter how his career evolves, Prateek wants the focus to stay on his songwriting and for his music to stand on its own.

“We really couldn’t imagine doing it as a solo act" – Laundry Day

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mercredi 16 septembre 2026 • Durée 42:07

“We really couldn’t imagine doing it as a solo act. We’re so grateful to do it together.”

For @daundrylay , “making it” isn’t about checking a box. The band, who formed in high school through a music program, is on the come up while still dreaming bigger: headlining large festivals like Coachella and Gov Ball, and maybe even having their own TV show.

From naming their touring van Bertha to using wheelofnames.com to decide sleeping arrangements on tour, the band has built a unique sense of community both with each other and with their fans.

In this episode, Laundry Day opens up about the trust, honest conversations, and shared ambition that keep them moving forward, all while intentionally embracing a more analogue approach to making music in an increasingly tech-driven world.

“There’s a danger in not expressing yourself” - Sawyer Hill

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

samedi 29 août 2026 • Durée 38:41

“Is any artist fully satisfied? To be like ‘You know what, I made it. It’s time to do something else.’"

@sawyerhillmusic dives into the failures, risks, and instincts that have shaped his path as an artist, and why it’s important to listen to your inner voice.

When a band he was a member of dissolved, he decided to maintain the course and go “scorched earth” to pursue music as a career. In our conversation, Sawyer reflects on trusting himself, his early experiences (some negative) with social media, and why going along with what everyone else likes can mean ignoring your own destiny.

He also shares about his Pentecostal roots in Arkansas and Texas, how his parents went from encouraging him to get a degree to fully supporting his music, and how they even signed an affidavit so he could play shows in bars at a young age.

From having law school as a backup plan to learning that success is built on “many, many failures,” Sawyer opens up about the realities of building a career in music today, including why artists increasingly have to think like entrepreneurs.

After opening for @yungblud and working with some of the music industry’s greats, Sawyer is entering a new chapter with his latest album, "Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy".

Have I Made It Ep. 5 | Yeemz

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 14 août 2026 • Durée 17:23

In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sat down with Yeemz, a cellist, singer-songwriter and composer from Sofar LA. Yeemz reflects on forging her own path as an artist, from her roots in classical music to redefining what her instrument and career could look like.

She also opens up about overcoming the feeling that she needed permission to pursue music, finding the confidence to share her work beyond social media, and breaking the rules by playing her cello sideways like a guitar. Yeemz also explains why she stopped seeking validation from certain people. And while she doesn't feel like she's "made it" just yet, Yeemz shares why continuing to chase new goals keeps her inspired.

Yeemz also released a new single on Aug. 12 that explores the feeling of constantly preparing for the worst, from expecting the person you're dating to lose interest to questioning what you're willing to sacrifice to succeed. The deeply personal track offers another glimpse into Yeemz's honest approach to vulnerability, ambition, and self-doubt.

Have I Made It Ep. 4 | Ruth B.

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mercredi 29 juillet 2026 • Durée 30:58

“I will sometimes just lay there and think about how many people know my music and listen to it and it wigs me out.”

In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sit down with Ruth B. to explore how her definition of success has evolved in the years since “Lost Boy” became a global hit. From posting Vines to earning billions of streams, Ruth B. reflects on the lifelong journey of "making it" and why she's accomplished far more than she ever imagined.

She also shares what it feels like to release deeply personal music into the world, why her newest album, “Peace to Make” marks a new chapter in her artistry, and how she's shifted her focus away from numbers and accolades toward creating music that feels true to her. It's an honest conversation about growth, ownership, and finding fulfillment in the art itself.

Have I Made It Ep. 3 | KELS

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 15 juillet 2026 • Durée 24:00

"Waiting makes you unhappy. If you’re able to take control of what you view as ‘your problem,’ I don’t think you’ll be as unhappy as if you’re at least working towards finding a solution.”

In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sit down with KELS, the self-proclaimed Dirty Blues Princess, also the title of her newest EP, to talk about the winding road from cleaning houses to touring the country and sharing her music with audiences around the world.

KELS reflects on taking ownership of her career, why waiting for the "right moment" can hold you back, and the mindset that helped her create opportunities instead of waiting for them. Along the way, she shares what success looks like to her today and why believing in yourself often starts with trusting yourself to take the first step.

Have I Made It Ep. 2 | Flyte

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 8 juillet 2026 • Durée 22:05

"We’re always incredibly stressed out about how to carry on surviving, but we always manage it.”

We asked Flyte: Have you made it?

In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sit down with Flyte to explore the evolving nature of success and why artists often feel like they're always in a state of becoming. The duo reflects on the importance of pausing to recognize how far they've come, the gratitude they still feel every time people show up to their shows, and the sense of completeness that comes from watching an audience connect with their music in real time.

They also share how their perspective on songwriting has changed over the years, revealing why they now believe a truly great song comes down to one thing: emotional clarity.

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mardi 23 juin 2026 • Durée 20:35

"Every single artist I've met, including Chris Martin, has said to me that sometimes it feels like you're failing no matter how far you are."

We asked Victoria Canal: Have you made it?

In the first episode of Have I Made It?, Victoria Canal opens up about her journey as an artist, the impact of Chris Martin's support early in her career, and the disconnect that can exist between how success looks from the outside and how it feels on the inside.

Together, we explore ambition, validation, self-doubt, and the question every artist wrestles with at some point: What does it really mean to make it?
