  From model to MMA fighter to actor, 37-year-old Ryan Guzman has garnered a dedicated following thanks to roles on the silver screen — through the ‘Step Up’ movie franchise — and primetime, where he’s been playing firefighter Eddie Diaz on the Ryan Murphy-produced procedural drama ‘9-1-1.’The Texas-born, Mexican-American actor joins us in the studio for the first time to share his journey up to this point, including his love of mixed martial arts, what it was like coming up as a broke model, and his transition to acting. Plus, he discusses landing a breakdancing role with zero dance experience, being a dad, Catholic guilt, identity, and dealing with male objectification.Guzman also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his dear friend, choreographer and actor Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who really took him under his wing while working on ‘Step Up.’SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• Mae Martin: Comedy Versus Music, Gender Fluidity, New Album ‘I’m A TV’

  Triple threat doesn’t quite cover it: Toronto-born Mae Martin is an award-winning comedian, screenwriter, podcaster, actor, author, and now a songwriter releasing their debut album ‘I’m A TV,’ a collection of intimate, mellow indie-folk, filled with deft one-liners and vulnerable confessionals. Most recently they’ve even started sharing their surrealist paintings, which is also something we also discussed when they joined us in the studio for the first time. Martin initially came to prominence for their semi-autobiographical, 2015 Netflix dramedy ‘Feel Good,’ which follows a stand-up comedian navigating love, addiction, and self-discovery in a deeply personal and darkly humorous way. Since then they’ve moved from London to LA, published a YA book, ‘Can Everyone Please Calm Down? A Guide to 21st Century Sexuality,’ co-hosted podcast Handsome, alongside fellow comedians Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, released a comedy special, hosted a doc series and is currently in the midst of editing their upcoming Netflix teen thriller series ‘Wayward.’We chat with Martin about being ostensibly raised in the comedy circuit, crafting their debut album, rehab, psychedelics, dreams about eminem, psychics, DMing Steven Jenkins from Third Eye Blind, the ties between comedy and music, not to mention being non-binary in this Trump-ian dystopia.

• Victoria Canal | The Messiness, The Sexiness, The Ick, New Album ‘Slowly, It Dawns’

  Twenty-six-year-old songwriter Victoria Canal is truly a citizen of the world. Born in Munich, Germany and raised in Shanghai, Tokyo, Barcelona, Madrid, Dubai, and Amsterdam, the now London-based songwriter has made a name for herself with her raw, vulnerable piano-driven pop, simultaneously building a loyal fanbase for her advocacy of LGBTQ+ rights, creating a space for inclusivity and expression in her art.Self-released from 2015 until signing with Parlophone in 2021, the Cuban-American star has opened for Hozier, been called a genius by Chris Martin and won a prestigious Ivor Novello Award for ‘black swan’ in 2024, a song which reflects on the internal conflict between embracing her true self and the pressures to conform to conventional standards. It’s just one of the themes she returns to on her debut album ‘Slowly, It Dawns’ — a collection that both embraces and pushes beyond the pared back piano balladry she’s so closely associated with, showing her range as an edgy, occasionally maximalist, pop star. Joining us in the studio for the first time Victoria talks openly about grief and loss, the destructive nature of comparison, self-acceptance, and what it’s like to play in front of 100,000 people with Coldplay at Glastonbury Festival. And it’s not all serious — Canal is super funny too — whether talking about her “hoe-y” summer (immortalized in ‘Cali Sober’) or what gives her The Ick, plus so much more.Stream "Slowly, It Dawns" ►► https://tinyurl.com/42v8yjdtSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• BANKS | Working With Doechii, Friend Breakups, New Album ‘Off With Her Head’

  Ever since she emerged — shrouded in mystery back in 2013 — BANKS has hypnotized with her bewitching blend of dark, soulful, gritty pop. Now 10 years on from her stunning debut album ‘Goddess’ (which she recorded an unplugged rendering of in 2024), Jillian Banks is back with her new, fifth LP ‘Off With Her Head,’ which sees her reteam with her OG squad songwriting and production squad: Sampha, Lil Silva, Sohn, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. She joins us in the studio to discuss this reunion of sorts, plus working with Doechii and the story behind ‘I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend,’ getting engaged, leaving her hometown of LA, toxic cycles (and getting out of them), the heartbreak of platonic love and so much more.

• Benjamin Ingrosso | Growing Up In The Spotlight, Swedish Pop, New Album ‘Pink Velvet Theatre’

  Born into one of Sweden’s most well-known entertainment dynasties, Benjamin Ingrosso has been famous in his home country since childhood. In fact, he first took the stage at just three years old, playing Mowgli in front of 25,000 people. Now 27, Ingrosso wrote his first hit at age eight, represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest, won the Swedish equivalent of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and hosted an award-winning cooking show — all while making occasional appearances on his family’s decade-long reality series, ‘Wahlgrens Värld.’But music has always been his first love, and with his fifth album, ‘Pink Velvet Theatre,’ he’s finally achieving the acclaim and recognition he has long pursued. A concept album filled with anthemic, kaleidoscopic pop, his songs fit seamlessly alongside Elton John, ABBA, and the Bee Gees while offering a fresh, modern spin.Now, in the midst of his first-ever U.S. tour, Ingrosso joins us in the studio to discuss his songwriting process and his journey from child star to five-time Swedish Grammy-nominated artist. He reflects on growing up in a famous family — including his cousin Seb from Swedish House Mafia and his sister influencer/entrepreneur sister Bianca — why Swedish songwriters are so successful and the Law of Jante. Plus, he opens up about public judgment, having no friends in school, self-doubt and self-belief, why he likes older ladies, why he was responsible for a Pecorino cheese shortage in Sweden, and much more.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uFollow The Zach Sang Show:https://tiktok.com/@zachsangshowhttps://www.instagram.com/zachsangshow/https://twitter.com/zachsangshowhttps://www.facebook.com/ZachSangShow/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
