Growing up moving between nearly 20 schools, navigating abuse, addiction, and cycles of trauma, Shubz has lived a life that mirrors the reality of countless young New Zealanders who feel unseen and unheard.

In this powerful conversation with host Bernadette, Shubz opens up about the moments that shaped him, the lows that nearly broke him, and the decision that changed everything. From the streets to the studio, this is a story about what it really takes to heal, grow, and choose a different path.
