Will Sparks on Why Relationships Are the Hardest Part

What happens when you play to a huge crowd, then have no one to share the moment with?

Will Sparks joins me to talk about the loneliness behind life on tour, the times he wanted to quit, and why relationships have been the hardest part. We also go back to where it all started: leaving school at 17 with his mum’s blessing, making music in his bedroom, and the track that changed everything.

Plus, we reminisce about our Melbourne party days, and Will opens up about wanting to find his person and become a dad.

This is an honest conversation about ambition, sacrifice and wanting someone beside you through it all. ❤️
