In this episode, we are joined by Ken MacMillan, original bassist for Fort Lauderdale's Nonpoint, who shares his story in depth for the first time. Ken reflects on discovering music, getting his first bass, and finding his place in South Florida’s local music scene through his early band Fuse. He shares stories of working with Jeremy Staska and Jason Bieler of Saigon Kick, Nonpoint's early recordings and performances, signing with MCA Records, extensive touring, Ozzfest, and performing overseas.

Ken also opens up about leaving Nonpoint, stepping away from music, and exploring other creative outlets. He discusses reconnecting with his former bandmates, returning to the stage with Nonpoint, and eventually finding his way back into music with his new project, Midnight Merlin. The conversation comes full circle as Ken discusses Midnight Merlin, his new single "Raw Meat Diesel," and this next chapter in his musical journey.
