Sometimes losing can be so much more informative then actually winning....On this very special episode we're talking to more Emmy nominated artisans that work behind the scenes on some of our favorite shows and films.  Today we get to dive into a lynch pin moment from one of the favorite shows on the planet right now, it's time to talk a little 'Ted Lasso'.Sam Ryder is an English singer/songwriter and social media personality who began his career in the hard rock and metal circuits, fronting groups like the Morning After and Blessed by a Broken Heart before starting a solo career as a pop artist. Wielding his versatile and dynamic vocal range, he parlayed an unexpected bout of viral success into a major-label deal and debuted in early 2021 with powerful pop-driven singles like "Whirlwind" and "More." They were included on his first EP, The Sun's Gonna Rise, before the end of the year. 2022 was a landmark year in Ryder's career which brought him both a runner-up spot at the Eurovision Song Contest and a U.K. number two placing for his co-composition "Space Man." His latest work is now being submitted for 2023 Emmy FYC, as he did the vocals for "Fought & Lost" being featured on Ted Lasso. For those who know, this song is such a lynch pin moment in Season 3 and it just fit so perfectly well that it was actually nominated for an Emmy. We had the unique pleasure of sitting down and talking with Sam about the origins of the song, how he got brought into the Ted Lasso family and so very much more....
