Special - Karl Brazil, Rob's Drummer & Musical Director
In this very special episode, we're thrilled to welcome one of the UK's most in-demand musicians — drummer, songwriter, and musical director, Karl Brazil!
Karl has been keeping the beat for Robbie since 2009 and most recently stepped into the role of musical director for the XXV tour. Beyond the stage, he's co-written a string of songs with Rob, including the latest single Rocket, penned alongside the legendary Tony Iommi and previous podcast guest Tom Longworth.
In our chat, Karl takes us through his musical journey — from early beginnings to his big break — and gives us an insider look at what it’s like to be MD for Robbie. We dive into the songwriting process, unpack the stories behind the tracks he's co-written, and even get a few exciting teasers about Robbie’s upcoming Britpop album and tour.
