High Performance
About this episode

We welcome Manchester’s very own Aitch, a BRIT award-winning rapper known for his sharp lyrics, infectious beats, and down-to-earth attitude. From his early days freestyling with friends to topping the charts, Aitch has quickly become one of the most exciting voices in British music.


In this episode, Aitch opens up to Jake and Damian about his music journey, sharing how growing up in Manchester shaped his career and gave him the drive to succeed in the music industry. He discusses his creative process, turning real-life experiences into relatable tracks, and opens up about handling criticism, staying true to himself, and overcoming negativity.


Aitch also highlights the importance of having a strong support system, including his manager and sister Gracie, and his dedication to giving back to the community, especially supporting those with disabilities, ensuring everyone has the same opportunities in life. Having worked with notable artists like Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Stormzy, and AJ Tracey, Aitch shares the valuable lessons he's gained from these collaborations and the lasting impact these experiences have had on his music career.


This episode provides a glimpse into Aitch's inspiring journey and how he remains authentic while making his mark in the music industry.


Aitch is set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Down’s Syndrome, a cause close to his heart due to his sister Gracie. If you’d like to support his charity effort, you can donate here: https://downssyndrome.enthuse.com/pf/aitch
