  • Gregg Sulkin's Stories of 17
    Oct 28 2020
    Our guest today is none other than Marvel Superstar and old friend of Pixie's, Gregg Sulkin! Having played roles in Global hits like Marvel's Runaways and Pretty Little Liars Gregg credits Disney and his role opposite Selena Gomez in Wizards of Waverly place as opening the doors for him. In fact it was this opportunity that made him choose 2009 and the age of 17 as his most pivotal year. Originally from London, in 2009 Gregg moved to the United States to pursue what was on the surface a 2 week job, which blossomed into the impressive career he has today. He’s won a Teen Choice Award, been nominated for a People's Choice Award and has acted alongside Helena Bonham Carter, Selena of course and Catherine Tate to name a few. Pixie and Gregg chat about everything from behind the scenes at Disney, love of dogs, accents, life across the pond and much more… Welcome to Gregg Sulkin’s stories of 17.

  • Joy Crookes' Stories of 9
    Oct 21 2020
    In the hot seat today we have British neo soul singer-songwriter Joy Crookes. Joy’s chosen year is 2009 putting Joy at the tender age of 9 - our youngest pivotal age yet. Joy credits the year as a tough one and marks it as the age that she began to develop her emotional language which echoes through all of her lyrics now. Pixie and Joy discuss everything from the importance of self expression through music and fashion to how Joy sees music as a form of immortalising memories: her own memories and also those of others. As a result, Joy hopes her work is a mirror to society, and that music is used as a medium for activism and change.

  • Yemi Alade's Stories of 20 and 25
    Jul 31 2020
    Our guest this week is the exceptional Nigerian Afro-pop singer and songwriter Yemi Alade who chose two pivotal ages! The first is in 2009 when Yemi emerged as the winner of one of Nigeria’s biggest talent shows Peak Talent. From this, Yemi realised her passion for music could become her career. She then shot to stardom when her song 'Johnny' was leaked in 2014 - kickstarting her career as a touring artist. Together Yemi and Pixie talk about everything from healthy social media consumption, to lending your platform to causes bigger than your own, to meeting and working with Beyonce (yes. Beyonce!). Dialling in from Nigeria, Yemi’s warmth shines through this chat.
