Guest: Jaymes Buckman (Hot Apollo)
Location: Toronto, Canada

Growing up with a natural pull toward performance and theater

Discovering an 80s aesthetic through music, fashion, and flamboyance

Learning to sing through persistence, repetition, and self-belief

How Hot Apollo came together—and why collaboration matters

Jaymes’ songwriting process and how single lines turn into full songs

Finding confidence on stage and entering a true “flow state”

Neurodivergence, creativity, and being fully present while performing

Music influences spanning glam rock, new wave, and punk energy

Dream collaborations (one living, one legendary)

Supportive parents, early critics, and growth through humility

Upcoming singles, videos, and the band’s debut album

Performing in Toronto’s diverse alternative scene

Thoughts on touring the U.S. and expanding into multimedia projects

Comics, acting, and building a larger creative universe around Hot Apollo
