My Music Interview with Katie Nicoll

Описание: In this episode of My Music, host Graham Coath sits down with Scottish singer-songwriter Katie Nicoll for a warm, thoughtful and refreshingly honest conversation about music, creativity, and finding your way as an artist.

Katie talks about picking up a guitar at age ten after falling in love with Taylor Swift’s songwriting, growing up in Angus with AC/DC’s Bon Scott as a local legend, and getting her first real taste of live performance at the iconic Bon Fest. From pub gigs and festivals to playing outside care homes during lockdown, her journey is grounded, resilient, and deeply human.

Together, Graham and Katie explore the realities of being a young independent artist today: navigating the pressure of social media, losing and rediscovering your creative spark, and remembering why you started making music in the first place. There’s also plenty of chat about the Scottish music scene, the joy of live performance, writing songs that make people feel something, and why not every great song has to be deadly serious.

Honest, encouraging, and full of insight, this episode is a reminder that music is about connection, community, and permitting yourself to play again.

🎧 If you love thoughtful conversations with emerging artists and want a glimpse into the real life of a modern songwriter, this one’s for you.
