John Grant to host the 200th episode of BBC's Music Life

Music Life recently featured Sam Ryder hosting a Eurovision special and has had an array of well-known and successful musicians on it since it launched in 2019. The format is that each week, a different musician hosts a panel of other musicians and they discuss some aspect of the music industry, such as song-writing and performing.

This special 200th episode features the likes of alt-pop artist Santigold, soul singer Gregory Porter, rock singer Skin from Skunk Anansie, rock legend Elvis Costello, video game composer Olivier Deriviere, Uruguayan legend Jorge Drexler, plus much more.

They take us on a journey from the songwriting process, discussing the merits of simplicity vs technique in recording, revealing insights into the processes of big stars, considering how to deal with the biggest topics within music, looking at the bigger picture, and finally the future of the music world.

In its 4 years or so to date, Music Life has joined the dots between every genre of music imaginable and featured artists from every corner of the globe, including Hans Zimmer, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Moonchild Sanelly, Mykki Blanco, and Angel Olsen.
