Summary

Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, DJ, and entrepreneur October London sits down with Melyssa Ford for a soulful, unfiltered conversation on Hot & Bothered. Fresh off the announcement of his Calling All Lovers Tour, October opens up about what it means to be crowned The Prince of Death Row Records, working directly with the DoggFather himself — Snoop Dogg — and carving out his own lane in the world of modern soul. But this isn’t just about music — it’s about life. October shares the real reason he chose to stay rooted in South Bend, Indiana instead of chasing the fast life in L.A. or New York, how he stays grounded, and the pain of losing one of his closest friends. This episode is a smooth blend of vulnerability, vision, and vintage cool — October London is bringing Soul back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
