CTP (S2EMarSpeical3) Mar 2025 Music Weeks Wk 1 Ep 2: The Stories Behind the Music That Shaped Us
Adam Blaylock shares the journey that led to creating "Heart Songs" podcast, where artists reveal the music that shaped them and their creative paths. His innovative format emerged from Rivers Cuomo's autobiographical Weezer track that chronicles musical influences from childhood to stardom.
• Born and raised in Mesa, Arizona with early dreams of basketball and animation
• Discovered alternative music at age 15 after returning from Sacramento
• Spent 20+ years in original bands and tribute acts including Foo Fighters and Alice in Chains
• First podcast "A Guy, a Car, and a Podcast" (2017) evolved into documentary filmmaking
• Heart Songs podcast asks artists to share deeply personal musical influences
• Format evolved from traditional interviews to artist-recorded stories
• Best episodes feature personal connections to music rather than surface appreciation
• Created documentary about retracing his Mormon mission experiences
• Waiting to share his own heart songs until the podcast's final episode
