The challenges of being an independent artist with Hilang Child

The next guest on our podcast for the Creative week is Hilang Child (aka Ed Riman), London based Welsh-Indonesian singer, songwriter and drummer. Praised as a talent for rich textural arrangements, anthemic hooks, a “perfect pop-soul heart” (Monocle Magazine) and “ecstatic vocals” (Clash, 8/10), you may have heard his music on BBC Radio, editorial playlists on Spotify, Apple and Amazon or on TV shows on Netflix, BBC and Channel 4. In 2025 he is set to release a brand new album, following on from his two previous efforts on Bella Union Records.

In this episode, we discuss Ed’s background, his experience in the music industry, where he gets the inspiration, diving deeper on how to break into the music industry without a burnout, as well, we cover his hopes and predictions for the future of the music industry and his own projects.

Each week we are releasing an episode in the field of either Metaverse/Gaming, Web3/Crypto/Blockchain, AI or XR. In case we have an extra Tuesday in a month, we have a guest from the Creative industries. Tune in, there are more amazing guests and stories to come up in the future.
