In this episode of the Black Gold Podcast, I sit down with prominent R&B Soul artist Rian Peters, better known as IAMTHELIVING. Born and raised in Peckham, South East London, now living in Vancouver, Canada, IAMTHELIVING has established himself as a gifted and talented singer/songwriter/musician with his debut EP "In This Thing Called Life", which earned him a nomination for 'Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year' at the 2021, 50th annual Juno Awards. In our conversation, we discuss Rian's journey into music at a young age, his unorthodox process for creating and curating songs, and the importance of collaboration in the creative process.
