FRESHKILS is a producer / performer from Toronto Canada. He is one of the world's premier Finger Drummers, with millions of youtube hits, and hundreds upon hundreds of live shows on his reumee. 

Kils joins me to talk about preparation H, sampling, touring, and the time he got headbutted in the face outside his own show. He and I have done some touring together and have known eachother for years... so this conversation is less interview and more like two friends catching up

On this episode, I'm joined by Mark Tavern (marktavern.com) to talk about his thoughts on Artist Management, the evolving state of the music industry as a whole, strategies for artists to build their fanbases, the importance of understanding the business of music as an artist, and a range of other topics... Mark has unique experience and a wealth of knowledge to draw his conclusions from, and he drops a lot of very valuable bits of information throughout this podcast. Definitely an episode that will bring you value if you are curious at all about the business side of music.

ILLingsworth is one of my favorite producers. He's an icon of the beat scene, Detroit to the world over. His prolific output of quality beats spans over a decade. He also enjoys a good laugh.

We talk about how he's balancing new fatherhood and a career in music, the value of levity and humor, and tekken.
