Hello and welcome to the first episode of Homer's Podyssey Conversations on Purpose.

We begin our voyage with an interview with hip-hop musician and emcee Deep Reasoning.

For those of you who are not familiar with his music, (and you'll be glad to have discovered him after listening to this podcast), Deep Reasoning has been exciting crowds, radio stations, producers and critics alike for over a decade. Based in Dublin, his lyrics and music take on subject matter that ranges from the devastating impact of decisions by the world’s politicians to the very personal struggles that many of us feel as we navigate a culture that glorifies the hustle and worships social media celebrities. He first came to prominence with his debut album Student of the Game, a work which features no less than seven producers, but which culminates in a record which still sounds fresh, impactful and relevant till this day. Back with his latest album, Battle of the Hemispheres, as well as new singles the Dark Knight and Put that Thing Down, it was fantastic to catch up with Deep in London last July (2025).

We recorded our interview at Paddington Library and our conversation covered a range of subjects. These included creativity and importance of timing, maintaining your wellness whilst making art, self-belief and the challenges of navigating the music industry. These topics, and more, interweave a discussion of Deep Reasonings' career and evolution as an artist from his early efforts inspired by his hip-hop idols to his latest tracks and live shows.

You can check out Deep Reasoning's music on Bandcamp and all your other favourite music streamlining platforms, as well as YouTube.

If you would like to know more about Deep Reasoning, there is also an interview from 2017 written Dave McMahon.

Thank you listeners for making the time to check out this new show. I would love your comments and feedback which you can submit through the new Instagram account or through the contact details on my website.

Thank you also to my bro Nick Homer for the podcast artwork, (you may know Nick from the Bridge Brothers Presents podcasts), and to the amazing Sea of Days for his incredible music.

Until next time, safe travels and see you soon!
