Today’s guest is Liam Cromby, former We Are The Ocean frontman and now a solo artist rebuilding his career on his own terms. After growing up surrounded by music, Liam went from local bands and MySpace auditions to playing huge stages, releasing major records and touring with bands like Muse. From the outside, it looked like the dream but behind the scenes, the pressure, burnout and declining mental health were slowly taking their toll. 

In this episode, Liam speaks openly about the highs and lows of his journey, from the early rise of We Are The Ocean and the moments that felt like everything was finally happening, to the crash that followed when it all became too much. He talks honestly about losing his identity, stepping away from music completely, and the long road back through counselling, busking and learning how to love music again. 

He also shares how social media unexpectedly helped reconnect him with We Are The Ocean fans and how his solo project has given him a fresh sense of purpose. This is a must listen for anyone in a band or wanting to be in a touring full time band!
