Overnight DJ Success, Grief & The Pressure Men Don't Talk About - Robbie G (Belters Only)

From a Bedroom in Dublin to the World's Biggest Stages —
Robbie G on Success, Grief & What It Really Costs.


Robbie G is one half of Belters Only, Ireland's most successful
DJ duo, diamond-certified at home, platinum across the world, and
now playing stages from New York to Tokyo. But this episode isn't
just about the highs.


Ryan sits down with Robbie for one of the most honest
conversations Made in Chaos has ever had, about going from
bedroom producer to global artist overnight, about what it's
really like inside the major label machine, about playing the
3Arena months after losing his ma, and about what happens when
the thing you love starts to feel like a burden.


What we get into:


Growing up in a musical family — his grandad was touring
America with a showband in the Joe Dolan era

How remixing Boyz II Men on Bended Knee led to a Universal LA
deal at 17

The passport story — and how he missed his invite to
Manhattan

Why Ireland had no scene when he started — and how that's
completely changed

Dublin's nightclub crisis and the fight to extend licensing
laws

Going from two young fellas with a dream to Polydor Records
in London overnight

Imposter syndrome, the pressure of follow-up hits, and the
reality of major label life

Why talent alone no longer gets you anywhere in the attention
economy

Burnout, grief and playing the 3Arena in the same year he
lost his ma

Why he's only now starting to understand what rest actually
means



Ryan Curtis is a former Irish MMA fighter who was paralysed from
the neck down and told he would never walk again. He rebuilt his
life through sheer determination. Made in Chaos exists to
platform guests who've faced real adversity and come out the
other side with something worth sharing.
