Inside the Playbook: Nick Jarjour on The Genius Behind Rihanna’s ‘Needed Me’

Nick Jarjour shares the story of Starrah, one of the most transformative songwriters in modern music. From crafting Rihanna’s “Needed Me” to shaping global hits for Camila Cabello and Maroon 5, Starrah’s journey is a masterclass in authenticity, creativity, and vision.

In this conversation, Nick explores how she redefined the relationship between artist and songwriter, why context is king, and how mental health and emotional intelligence shape long-term success. He also unpacks the idea of Return on Emotion (ROE), a reminder that the most meaningful rewards in music aren’t always financial.

This episode dives deep into the intersection of culture, creativity, and strategy, and what it really takes to build a legacy that lasts.

A conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
