Speaking to Jamie about his love of music and how he likes to take risks in the studio, Jason says: “I think it’s important to do something new and bring something new to the table. I remember when my A&R Mike Karen – who by the way is one of the best A&Rs EVER – heard “Talk Dirty” for the first time, and he was like this: “this is either going to be the biggest hit in the world, or it’s going to struggle!” Right then and there, I knew I had to record that song.”
The three-time Teen Choice Award winner opens up about her insecurities away from the spotlight: “When people talk about my weight, it can be tough. I’ve always believed that you have to wear your insecurities with a smile, but it’s hard to do that sometimes when you feel like the whole world is watching and sometimes judging you.”
Other topics discussed on the podcast include how Jason feels his life changed after becoming a father, dream collaborations, dealing with success and what he really feels about having his name in a song…
With a series of compelling discussions, featuring a diverse list of guests from the worlds of entertainment, culture and sport, Good company invites anyone and everyone to pull up a seat and join the conversation – and with Jamie at the helm, listeners can be sure to expect convos that are anything but ordinary!
