When you talk to musicians, it's easy to stick to the surface. But on Inspire and Change, we go deeper.

I sat down with Ollie, Riley, Max, and lead singer Kate from Uprising to talk about what really drives them—from overcoming past hurdles like bullying to discovering their true purpose through music. Being in a band myself, I know how rare it is to get to the root of a group's dynamic like this.

We dive into each member's story, how Kate brings her unique voice to the front, and what the future holds for this unstoppable band.
