Rory opens up about the raw beginnings: growing up in a quiet town, MC’ing in underground crews, and getting “the call” that would change his life. He shares the behind-the-scenes truth about how Human came to be – a song that wasn’t even supposed to be a hit, and yet shook the world. From working with Calvin Harris to navigating 70+ shows a year, this episode dives deep into the pressure, the passion, and the power behind the voice. 

We also talk fatherhood, favorite artists, and how his relationship with music has evolved now that family comes first. Whether you’ve followed him since Bluestown or only know the big hooks, this conversation reveals the thoughtful, hilarious, and refreshingly real side of Rag’n’Bone Man.
Don't miss the moment he plays guitar, shouts out new artists, and talks about what's next in his career. Hit play – you’ll laugh, reflect, and probably replay Human with fresh ears.
