Will Sparks on Why Relationships Are the Hardest Part

What happens when you play to a huge crowd, then have no one to share the moment with? Will Sparks joins me to talk about the loneliness behind life on tour, the times he wanted to quit, and why relationships have been the hardest part. We also go back to where it all started: leaving school at 17 with his mum’s blessing, making music in his bedroom, and the track that changed everything. Plus, we reminisce about our Melbourne party days, and Will opens up about wanting to find his person and become a dad. This is an honest conversation about ambition, sacrifice and wanting someone beside you through it all. ❤️ 00:00 Meet Will Sparks 02:49 Our School Days and Leaving Two Schools in One Day 08:56 The Family Behind His Creativity 12:55 Guitar Hero, Fake IDs and Melbourne Nightlife 19:47 Leaving School With His Mum’s Blessing 21:13 The Track That Changed Everything 27:05 Getting Hooked on the High of Success 28:32 The Toll of Touring and Wanting to Quit 33:12 Life Between the Highs 34:48 Having No One to Share It With 44:40 Trust, Dating and Why Relationships Are So Hard 47:27 Big Egos and the People Behind the Music 50:24 Fitness and His Mental Health 54:21 Looking Back and Returning to His Roots 57:05 Margaret Court Arena and What Comes Next 60:22 What Ella Said Before MAFS THE ELLA ERA: Instagram: 📸 https://www.instagram.com/ellaerapodcast/ TikTok: 🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@theellaera ELLA MAY DING: Instagram: 📸 https://www.instagram.com/ellamayding/ TikTok: 🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@emayding ADVERTISING: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
