AITCH: I LOST FRIENDS CHASING SUCCESS

JAMPOT PRODUCTIONS
About this episode

Aitch - or as he’s known to his mother, Harrison James Armstrong, is a Manchester born rapper, who’s known for his cheeky personality and insane freestyle talent. He hasn’t released music for a while, but he’s back with his new album, ‘4’, so I was excited to have him in the studio to find out about what he’s been up to in that break, and the reason he took it…


We cover:

•⁠ ⁠The impact of becoming an adult in the limelight

•⁠ ⁠The changing landscape of the music industry

•⁠ ⁠The difference between Aitch and Harrison

•⁠ ⁠Getting into fights

•⁠ ⁠The pressure that comes with new releases

•⁠ ⁠Aitch’s recent trek up Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money and awareness for Down syndrome Association


This conversation was really heartwarming, especially hearing Aitch open up about his special relationship with his sister, and how she keeps him grounded despite his huge successes!
