Über diesen Titel

Hey, I’m Hayden Thomas—musician, lifelong music fan, and the guy who still makes mixtapes for road trips.


First Spin is my weekly interview show where I sit down with emerging artists who I genuinely believe are doing something special. You might not know their names yet, but if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to change that.


This show isn’t about hype. It’s about real conversations—about the first gigs, the late-night doubts, the sound that finally clicks. It’s a space for new voices to tell their stories, and for all of us to listen a little closer.


If you’re always on the hunt for the next song that’ll mean something to you—welcome. You’re in the right place.


New artists. Real stories. Weekly drops. Let’s give ‘em their first spin.
