Music Industry Secrets & A Message To The Youth | WITH THE GRAIN PODCAST

In this episode of With The Grain, we sit down with a true Rock City legend — Timo Makaveli. Fresh off the release of his latest album, Timo gets real with us about his journey from dreamer to trailblazer, and what it took to risk everything for his vision. We dive into the stories behind the music, including the songs that almost didn’t make the cut, collabs, and the deeper messages layered in his lyrics. Timo shares his Top 5, gives us his take on Virgin Islands music culture, and sets the tone for what 2025 is bringing. From laughs to life lessons, we touch on everything from simping and love, to industry game and label talks, and of course — his message to the skets. Whether you’re a fan of VI music or just love authentic stories, this episode is a vibe. Tap in, tune up, and get inspired by the voice of the islands.
