In this episode of the David Watson Podcast, I sit down with Jaymes Buckman, the neurodivergent glam rock singer, poet, and frontman of Canadian glam rock band Hot Apollo.
We dive into what it really feels like to be a high-energy performer who feels most at peace on stage, and yet wrestles with anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt when the lights go down.
Jaymes talks about growing up between Toronto and London, discovering his love of performance, developing his iconic glam style in Camden, and why he finally went “all in” on music after trying the conventional path of college and day jobs.
We also explore the link between alter egos, addiction, and creativity, how art can channel pain into something powerful, and why staying busy and taking action is one of the most underrated tools for managing mental health and negative inner voices.
If you’re into glam rock, performance, or honest conversations about mental health, anxiety, and what it means to be truly yourself, you’ll get a lot from this one.
