Fame changes dating.
Money changes expectations.
And style changes access.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Drago breaks down what most people won’t say out loud about dating in America vs Europe, money-driven culture, modern masculinity, fashion as social leverage, and navigating the music industry without losing yourself.
From touring with Coldplay, getting noticed by Chris Martin, building a fashion brand, and rejecting industry control — to dating dynamics, chivalry, social media sameness, and why authenticity is disappearing — this episode blends music, culture, psychology, and identity.
We talk about:
• Dating in America vs Europe
• Money, access & expectations
• Fame, DMs & disingenuous attention
• Touring with Coldplay & breaking into global music
• Why fashion changes how people treat you
• Building a clothing brand after music
• Chivalry, feminism & attraction (personal views)
• Social media cloning culture
• Masculinity, responsibility & family goals
• Why originality is dying — and how to keep yours
This isn’t advice.
It’s one artist’s lived experience in public life.
