About this listen

What Made You is a podcast about the moments that shape us — especially the ones no one sees coming.

Hosted by radio personality Deanna Marie, What Made You features honest, in-depth conversations with musicians and creatives about the winding road that led them to where they are today. From early struggles and career pivots to breakthrough moments and hard-earned wins, this podcast goes beyond the highlight reel to explore the real life behind the artist.

This is a continuation and evolution of Real Life Low Down with Deanna, diving deeper into the stories that don’t always make the press release — the doubts, the risks, the people, and the defining choices that truly make someone who they are.

These conversations aren’t rushed, scripted, or surface-level. They’re thoughtful, relaxed, and human — designed to give listeners a genuine connection to the guest and inspiration for their own journey, creative or otherwise.

Whether you’re a music fan, an artist chasing a dream, or someone navigating your own path, What Made You is a reminder that success isn’t a straight line — and every story is worth telling.

    LOUD LOVE doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Fusing melodic hardcore with emo and punk influences, their music lives in the space between heartbreak and release—loud, honest, and unapologetically real. Their songs dig into the messy parts of life most people try to avoid, turning frustration, love, and uncertainty into something you can scream along to. Whether on stage or in the studio, Loud Love is all about feeling everything—and turning it all the way up.

    Mar 30 2026

    SNACKTIME is a high-energy, genre-blurring band out of Philadelphia that’s built a reputation for turning every performance into a full-blown experience. Known for their explosive live shows and infectious blend of funk, hip-hop, rock, and soul, the band doesn’t just play music—they create a party wherever they go. What started as impromptu jam sessions has grown into a movement, with a devoted fanbase drawn to their raw talent, tight musicianship, and undeniable chemistry.

    In this episode, I sit down with Sam and Nico, members of Snacktime to talk about their journey from street performances to sold-out crowds, the grind behind the scenes, and the moments that tested their commitment to the band. Their honesty, humor, and resilience make this conversation as entertaining as it is inspiring.

  • EP 2 CRASHING ATLAS
    Mar 16 2026

    Crashing Atlas is a modern rock band known for blending heavy riffs, cinematic production, and emotionally charged lyrics into a sound that feels both powerful and deeply personal. Drawing from alternative rock, electronic elements, and hard rock influences, the band has carved out a lane that resonates with fans who connect with music that’s both intense and introspective.

    When you talk with Crashing Atlas, it’s clear their music comes from real experience. Their songs tackle themes like mental health, resilience, and personal growth — the kinds of topics that have helped them build a loyal and rapidly growing fan base.

    On the podcast, that same honesty carries into the conversation. Douglas Jokerst brings a mix of humor, authenticity, and openness about the ups and downs of chasing music and life in the spotlight, making it a conversation that goes far beyond the typical band interview.
