Ep 249: Patrick Motto
In this episode of The Popko Project Podcast, we sit down with multi-talented artist, producer, and studio owner Patrick Motto for an in-depth, honest, and heartfelt conversation. From opening for Breaking Benjamin the night they were signed, to launching his own recording facility, PM Soundscape Studios, Patrick shares his two-decade journey in music — from fronting bands like One Man Religion to creating introspective solo albums like Flood.
We dive into topics like creative burnout, faith, the toxicity of social media, vocal identity, and the ever-changing landscape of music production. Patrick also discusses the importance of building a band around a vocalist’s strengths, how to get the best out of artists in the studio, and the joys (and chaos) of life with eight cats.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of NEPA music or curious about what it takes to run a studio and still write your own music, this conversation is packed with humor, insight, and lots of heart.
