The ones that happen over coffee, where someone says something that stops and makes you think, more people need to hear this.Episode 2 is one of those conversations.Watch and listen now on youtube or on spotify.Kacey Baker became one of Australia’s most in-demand voiceover artists, he’s a multi-ACRA-winning radio producer, a superstar DJ known as DJ KCB now RAND3LL, and now a filmmaker with Hollywood on the phone.And there’s a good chance you’ve never heard his name.But I guarantee If you’ve turned on a radio, watched TV, scrolled YouTube in this country at any point in the last 20 years, you’ve definitely heard him. You just didn’t know it was him.Red Bull. BMW. Mazda. Beyond Blue. YouTube Music. Channel 7. Channel 10. FOX 8. MTV Australia. Netflix Australia. KIIS FM’s first ever voiceover artist. The voice that launched the Kyle and Jackie O Show.That’s just the voice.Kacey came up through the Australian club scene as DJ KCB. Mixed the biggest selling Wild FM CDs in the country. Got pulled into the Hot 30 Countdown by Kyle Sandilands, who crowned him the world’s best megamixer. Spent years as image producer for 2Day FM and the entire Austereo network, picking up multiple ACRA wins along the way.Then in 2012, he pivoted.Not because it wasn’t working. Because something else was calling him.He bought a RED camera. Built Bay Rock Films from scratch. In 2020 his COVID short Stay Home Stay Safe hit two million views in a week. New York Times writers were tweeting it out. Foxtel called. Netflix directors started reaching out. Then came the LA manager.Then came the call from Warner Bros.I’ve been fortunate enough to know Kacey for over 25 years. He gave me my first ever radio spin on a national network. Shot my first music video. Every time I visited him at Today FM I walked out feeling like I’d “made it” just from being in the building.I didn’t put a mic in front of him because of that. I put a mic in front of him because his story across three industries is genuinely one of the most remarkable ones I know. And he’s never really told it out loud.Inside this episode we cover:<ul><li>Coming up through the Wild FM era and the Australian club circuit</li><li>Being crowned the world’s best megamixer by Kyle Sandilands</li><li>Image producing the Hot 30 Countdown and voicing the Austereo network</li><li>Becoming one of Australia’s most in demand voiceover artists across radio, TV, and the internet</li><li>Being KIIS FM’s first ever voiceover artist</li><li>Walking away from radio and DJing in 2012 to start over</li><li>Stay Home Stay Safe going viral and the LA call that followed</li><li>The call from Warner Bros</li><li>The reality, the challenges, and the heartbreak of being a creative</li><li>Why being one of Australia’s most in-demand voices still wasn’t enough</li><li>Building Bay Rock Films and life as a writer and director</li></ul>Press play for a wild ride and to hear Kacey’s story.Watch and listen on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://youtu.be/XUYnVCtNIqs?si=1aLztYrW1euLH16U">YouTube</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2HqxMZFqis0IsGiF1wDTqF?si=1YG9d3zgS7-oQ2NTuaDgFg">Spotify</a><div class="iframe-wrapper" style="display: flex; justify-content: flex-start;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XUYnVCtNIqs" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="text-align: left; max-width: 100%;"></iframe></div>
