Episode 3, Season 1 – Jamie Shields / MNKN
Welcome back to How Did You Do That? – the podcast where we dive deep into the minds behind the music, the art, and the moments that move us.
In this episode, I sat down with Jamie Shields, also known as MNKN – a composer, producer, and all-around sonic architect who’s carved out a space for himself in the world of sync music and sound design. If you’ve ever wondered how music ends up in your favourite ads, trailers, or TV shows – this one’s for you.
We talked about breaking into the sync business, the realities of making music for brands and moving pictures, and what it takes to turn creativity into a sustainable career. But it wasn’t just about the industry – we also got into the deeper stuff: why we make the things we make, what keeps us going, and how to stay inspired when you're balancing art and commerce.
So grab your headphones, get comfy, and let’s find out…

Welcome back to How Did You Do It — Season 1, Episode 2. The podcast where we get into the minds of the artists, producers, and creatives shaping the sound of now.
In this episode, I sat down with someone who's been steadily building a world of his own—Good Cop Bad Cop, also known as Joe Carnall.
His debut album, Welcome to the Marble Zone, isn’t just a collection of tracks—it’s a full-on experience. A sonic universe where ambient textures crash into raw drums, where nostalgia meets distortion, and where duality—both emotional and musical—is the name of the game.
We talked about everything—from the roots of the project, to building a concept album in the age of playlists, and what it takes to be vulnerable in your work without losing your edge, we went deep into the process too—sampling, sound design, the chaos of creation, and what it really means to balance the “good cop” and “bad cop” sides of yourself when you’re making something real.
It’s a special one. So lock in, turn the volume up, and let’s find out…

Welcome to the very first episode of How Did You Do It?! Season 1 – the podcast where we dive deep into the minds of the creatives shaping the sounds of today. In this episode, we’ve got a real treat for you. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Toddla T! If you’re a fan of groundbreaking music, you’ve probably heard his name – from his genius production on Bashy’s MOBO-winning album to his incredible work on the first album after a 15-year hiatus, Being Poor is Expensive.
We talked all things music production, sampling, techniques, and how the energy in the room can make or break a track. And of course, we dug into his approach and execution as the executive producer behind one of the most celebrated projects of the year. You’re not going to want to miss this conversation!
