Look Who It Is! is an independent music discovery and artist interview podcast hosted by Dane. Artists, songwriters, musicians, producers, and music industry guests talk about songwriting, career development, setbacks, live performance, new releases, and the work behind building a real career in music.
Kate Morris talks about starting her music career later in life, balancing motherhood with independent artistry, finding a community through writers rounds, and learning to keep moving without overthinking every step.
Hank Ruff talks about growing up around bluegrass in Bloomington, writing songs with his dad, building the Hellbenders, and keeping traditional country sounds alive while moving his career forward.
Kendall Eugene talks about rebuilding his life, appearing on The Voice, balancing music with a day job, and turning personal experiences into songs such as “Dust Bowl Blues” and “Prodigal.”
Brooke Lee talks about Nashville's late-night grind, landing a national Chevrolet campaign, touring with major artists, and the six-song story behind Desert Darling.
Derek Wells breaks down Nashville session work, the creative freedom behind Post Malone's F-1 Trillion, balancing guitar and production, and how the smallest studio moments can shape a finished record.
Roger Springer talks about his decades-long songwriting career, writing with Mark Chesnutt, traditional country's comeback, and mentoring younger artists who are carrying the sound forward.
The goal is simple: have honest conversations with people who are building something in music, whether they are on stage, behind the board, behind the scenes, or still grinding toward the next step.
A place to talk about more than the newest single. The story, the work, the bad breaks, the growth, and the moments that actually shaped the career.
Independent music interviews with more weight than the usual promo cycle. Real background, real perspective, songwriting stories, and conversations that make the music mean more.
A bridge between podcast interviews, local scenes, and the people trying to build something that lasts.
Look Who It Is focuses on the part of music careers people usually skip over: the years before the breakthrough, the decisions that cost something, the setbacks, the lessons, and the work it takes to keep going.
Everything ties back to the same idea: finding good music, good stories, and people worth paying attention to.
