How To Make A Hit Song with Nicholas Joubert
1/16/2024
Let us know what you thought of this episode and we’ll put it up on our pages✍️
EP328: Striking a chord that resonates deep within, Nicholas Joubert is the epitome of a Renaissance man in today's eclectic entertainment landscape. Join us as we get an exclusive look into the life of this artist extraordinaire, who not only spins magic with his melodies but also thrives under the academic cap and turns heads on the runway. Nicholas peels back the curtain to reveal the master plan that propelled his debut track into the limelight, earning coveted spots on radio rotations and top charts. His narrative is a testament to the power of teamwork, with a nod to the unsung heroes behind the scenes—producers, publicists, and managers. Moreover, he spills the beans on how personal tornadoes, like a heart-wrenching breakup, can give rise to songs that tug at our heartstrings.
The conversation takes on a harmonious blend of chords and college as we delve into Nicholas's pursuit of scholarly excellence without missing a beat in his musical endeavors. His journey of juggling honors and master's degrees at the University of Pretoria with recording sessions is nothing short of inspiring. He muses about an exciting upcoming music release that's been brewing in the background, giving credit to a SAMRO bursary for adding an extra note to his business savvy. Lifting the veil on his future compositions, Nicholas hints at a transition towards uplifting melodies and a love song that's sure to serenade the soul. He caps off our chat with high praise for South African virtuosos like Will Linley, Jeremy Loops, and Matthew Mole, and extends an open invitation to fans to join his symphony of updates and engagements across his digital platforms.
