Kate Nash: ‘I don’t want to exploit my fans just because I’ve been exploited’

How do you survive the music industry without losing creativity - or yourself?

This week, in our final episode of the series, John is joined by singer and actor Kate Nash.

Kate reflects on health difficulties that prompted her to rethink her future and pursue music, before skyrocketing to fame through Myspace and finding herself navigating a complex industry with little guidance or protection.

She shares her experiences of being exploited by management, the pressures of early success and how her journey into acting saved her at a time when she needed it most. Kate also discusses her decision to join OnlyFans to fund her tours, and how raising awareness about the financial realities of touring led to an invitation to Parliament.

John and Kate explore resilience, reinvention, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people you trust, in an industry that’s constantly changing.

There’ll be more from Kate on Thursday in our bonus episode, The Gratitude List, where she shares the five things she’s most grateful for right now.
