About this episode
“I'm just a bloke from Stoke and I like making music”
You might know Wes Nelson from Love Island, or his number one song ABRACADABRA with Craig David. But did you know that he started out as a nuclear engineer?
Wes tells Scott how he transcended his reality TV roots to become a chart-topping artist, collaborating with people like Craig David and French Montana. Despite his massive success, you’ll hear how Wes has struggled with his identity as an artist and dealt with the challenges of his public perception.
Wes opens up about his struggles with imposter syndrome, how they’ve even led to panic attacks, and how hard work, talent, and the courage to redefine himself have helped Wes reach new heights.
