Already Heard<\/strong> writer and Just an Insight<\/strong> Podcast host Tim Birkbeck recently went to the Komedia studio bar in Brighton to catch up with singer\/songwriter Koji<\/strong>.\u00a0The singer recently undertook his first ever tour in a full band format in the UK after stepping away from music for nearly four years.<\/p>\n

During the interview, Koji<\/b> tells Tim what it was like growing up in Pennsylvania, how he found a home in the punk \/ DIY community.\u00a0The pair also discuss how stepping away from music for a period of time was needed for the musician to reassess and have a new appreciation for the music he was playing.<\/p>\n

Side Note: this interview was conducted before Koji made accusations about Frank Turner, so there is no mention of this during the interview.<\/em><\/p>\n
