Cody Simpson: How to Come Home to Yourself

About this episode

Cody Simpson discusses his journey back to music after a six-year hiatus, reflecting on his childhood fame and the healing process that has shaped his artistry.

Cody opens up to Jermaine about the life-changing moment YouTube launched his career, the emotional reality of growing up in the public eye, and the healing journey that has brought him back to music after six years away. Together, Jermaine and Cody explore the joy and nostalgia behind his new single “Baby Blue,” what it means to create from a place of peace, and why so many artists of this generation seem to be reconnecting with themselves in a deeper way. From child stardom and social media to nervous system healing, gratitude, and creative freedom, this is a conversation about growth, perspective, and coming home to who you truly are. Plus, Cody shares what he would say to his 13-year-old self if he could relive those very first label meetings all over again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
