On this episode of The Mixtape, Perth singer-songwriter Riley Pearce joins us for a candid and compelling conversation about creativity, vulnerability, and the pressure to constantly evolve in the digital age.

Riley opens up about the emotional spark behind his latest single Foundation — written in the wake of being dropped by his management company — and how that moment of upheaval became a powerful turning point in his songwriting. We chat about the inspiration behind his upcoming album The Weight of Our Dreaming, and the realities of being an artist navigating both self-doubt and self-discovery.

He also shares the memory of his first-ever concert and crafts an exclusive mixtape filled with the songs and artists that have shaped his journey.

🎧 Tune in for a heartfelt dive into resilience, artistic growth, and the soundtrack of Riley Pearce’s life.
