Switched on Pop

Nate Sloan, Charlie Harding

Booking Overview

This is a music-analysis interview show focused on pop music, songwriting, musical composition, and artists’ creative processes, with recurring external guests who are recording artists, songwriters, and bands. Agencies could credibly pitch established or emerging musicians, producers, and artist collaborators with distinctive perspectives on albums, vocal arrangements, or songwriting; booking is likely high-difficulty because recent guests include prominent recording artists such as Tove Lo and Lizzy McAlpine.

Her lyrics tend to skew bot...
