Then, sitting at the piano, Charlie takes us inside his biggest songs, breaking down how they really started, how they evolved, and how he actually turns ideas into hit records. From early melodies to finished songs, we get a rare look into how his mind works and why he hears music the way he does.
But this episode isn’t just about the music. It’s about feeling misunderstood, hiding parts of yourself, and trying to figure out what it means to truly be seen and understood, not just by the world, but by yourself.
This conversation is for YOU if:
* You’re an artist, songwriter, or producer trying to find your sound
* You want to understand how hit songs are actually made
* You’ve ever felt misunderstood or like people don’t fully see you
* You love music and want to experience it on a deeper level
What hit me most wasn’t just hearing how these songs were made, it was Charlie’s honesty. The way he talks about music, success, identity, and the pressure to be understood is something I think a lot of people will connect with.
Charlie, thank you for your openness, your honesty, and for trusting me with this conversation. I truly believe this is one of the most real and meaningful interviews you’ve ever done.

Diplo didn’t follow a traditional path into music. From studying film and discovering global sounds, to building Major Lazer and collaborating across genres with artists like BTS and BLACKPINK, his career has been defined by one thing: doing what others weren’t willing to try.In this episode, Diplo breaks down how some of the world’s biggest songs started as ideas that didn’t make sense at first, and why that’s often exactly where the best music comes from.But this conversation goes way beyond the songs. It’s about how he built his career by following curiosity instead of trends, learning from different cultures and sounds, taking risks before there was any guarantee they would work, and staying adaptable as the industry continues to evolve💡 This conversation is for YOU if:- You’re an artist, songwriter, or producer trying to find your voice- You’re tired of feeling like you have to follow a formula- You want to understand how to stand out in a crowded space- You’re looking for a new way to think about creativity and growthWhat stood out most to me was his perspective on creativity, the idea that there isn’t one path, one genre, or one formula that leads to success. It’s about being willing to experiment, to stay open, and to keep moving even when the direction isn’t fully clear yet.Diplo shares lessons from years of building across different sounds, cultures, and moments in music, and how those experiences shaped the way he approaches creating today.Diplo, thank you for sharing your journey and your perspective. And to everyone watching, I hope this conversation gives you the confidence to trust your ideas and create something that feels true to you.⬇️ More of Diplo 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diplo/?hl=en / jonasbrothers📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@diplo📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCKp7UVaoVuiW1qtyPLPVFMQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5fMUXHkw8R8eOP2RNVYEZX?si=cH8dlqA2Smu1GId0JXqqQQ⬇️ More of Daniel📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielsWall 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielwall/?hl=en 📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@danielswall?lang=en

This might be the first time Loren Allred has ever shared her full story from beginning to now.Most people know Loren as the voice behind “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman, one of the most powerful vocal performances in modern film. But very few people know the years that led up to that moment or the long road she took before the world ever heard her name.Loren grew up in a musical family, trained as a singer, and at one point had a developmental deal with Ne-Yo and Island Def Jam. It was her big break, the moment everything seemed to be happening at once. And then almost overnight, it all disappeared. The deal fell apart, the momentum vanished, and she found herself back at zero, unsure of how to move forward.Instead of quitting, Loren went into the shadows of the industry, recording demos and session vocals for other artists with no guarantee any of it would lead to a career. Those years of anonymity eventually led to The Voice, where she spent a full year preparing for the show, only to watch most of her journey turn into a montage that almost no one saw.And then something unexpected happened. She was asked to demo a song for a film musical that no one had heard of yet. That song became “Never Enough.” When the film came out, millions of people around the world fell in love with her voice without knowing who it belonged to. It was one of the strangest kinds of breakthroughs: the world heard her, but they didn’t see her. And even then, it took more time before Loren stepped out from behind the character and became an artist in her own right.What moved me in this conversation was not just the music. It was Loren’s resilience. Her belief in her craft. The years spent unseen. The almost-breaks that fell apart. And the patience it took to wait for her moment without knowing if it would ever arrive.This interview is for you if:• you are a singer, songwriter, or performer trying to find your way• you have ever been close to success and watched it slip away• you have worked for years without recognition• you believe in late bloomers and second (or third) acts• you love hearing how creative careers actually unfoldTo me, Loren’s story is a reminder that the industry rarely rewards people instantly. Sometimes it takes years. Sometimes it takes heartbreak. Sometimes it takes a role where the world hears you before they know your name. But if you stay in it long enough, your moment finds you.Loren, thank you for trusting us with your story and for letting people see the journey behind the voice that so many already love.📘 FREE PDF: 15 Lessons from The Greatest Minds in Music → https://nas.io/behindthewall/products/dxue🧢 Behind The Wall Merch Drop👕 Be one of the first 150 people and get 20% off with code: WALL20 → https://behindthewall.tv/collections/all⬇️ More of LorenSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0LyOADBjj28cbvJWTXUEGA?si=J-dC2-DOSy-_pGcmDgbHyw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lorenallred/?hl=enSpotify: https://www.tiktok.com/@lorenallredofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lorenallred ⬇️ More of Daniel Wall📺 YouTube: / @danielswall📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielwall/📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@danielswall
