He’s just released his debut album Worlds End FM, recently played at Glastonbury, and is getting played on Radio 1 and 2. But life wasn’t always like this for Hak Baker. Here, he tells Zak and Jules the story of how he learnt to play guitar while in prison, and how he’s turned it into a successful career since coming out.

If you want to hear more from Hak, check out this episode of our sister podcast Outside In where Hak chats to our colleagues Nico and Richie.
