In this episode, Gilas opens up about his transformative journey, the new single that’s lighting up playlists worldwide, and the music that saved his life.

Episode Highlights

Learn how a life-changing horseback riding accident altered the course of Gilas’ life—leaving him with a broken neck and wrist, wrestling with pain, depression, and near addiction—and how music became his healing sanctuary.

Hear about Gilas’ personal musical evolution since his debut album, “231 Kensington Road,” created during a period of limited mobility, and produced with Grammy-winning producer Brian Kennedy. Get the inside scoop on the making of the album and the inspiration behind the tracks.
A look at Gilas’ rising chart trajectory: from the breakout single “Working with the Rain” hitting #21 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart and climbing to #13, to pacings on the World Indie and Euro Indie charts, and the subsequent success of “Can’t Hide Beautiful” and its Billboard Hot 100 and AC appearances.
Michael’s influences and the artists who shape his sound—The Eagles, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Billie Eilish—and how he blends sun-drenched melodies with universal pop appeal.
A candid discussion about the creative process when healing, writing with limited mobility, and turning personal resilience into a universal, feel-good message for late-night drives, beach playlists, and celebratory moments.
