This episode of The Weekly Beat brings together three unique perspectives from across Europe — German production duo Quarterhead, rising Norwegian vocalist Caden, and host Matoma — for a high-spirited, creatively charged conversation on music, values, and collaboration. Quarterhead, known for their chart-topping, genre-blending style, share insights on trusting intuition in the studio and chasing inspiration wherever it leads. Caden brings a compelling voice both literally and figuratively — not only as a songwriter and performer, but also as a vocal advocate for increasing the visibility and representation of women in music.

Together, the trio discuss the balance between spontaneity and intentionality, and how great music often comes from honest, values-driven dialogue before anyone even touches a keyboard. Caden opens up about using her platform to encourage a more inclusive industry, a mission that resonates deeply with Matoma and Quarterhead alike. It’s a vibrant, meaningful exchange — filled with laughter, shared admiration, and a real commitment to making music that matters on and off the stage.

The song we made "The Feeling" comes out Friday August 29th, listen here.
