Summary
Corbyn Besson was part of the boy band, Why Don’t We, that swept the world and stole hearts!!!! Now after a decade and some time apart he is embarking on a solo journey…and it’s GOOD. Tish brought her bestie and podcast producer, Kelsey Meyer, in for a conversation with Corbyn that goes wayyy deeper than expected. From boy band fame and touring burnout to dopamine crashes, loneliness, mental health, and figuring out who you are after everything changes… this episode gets REAL.
Corbyn opens up about life after Why Don’t We, finding confidence in his solo career, the pressure of making music for other people, and finally learning to trust himself creatively. Plus: COVID isolation, Call of Duty addiction, living in a giant house with friends, why men are obsessed with the Roman Empire, and Tish’s ongoing struggle to simply relax. Oh, and Sammy fully falls in love with Corbyn within the first 30 seconds so of course we talk about Corbyn’s cat too. It's a jam-packed episode and we’re sorry, but this one might accidentally heal you.
