Funk Journeys: Eric "Shrizz" Rohner (HornDogz, Shrizz N Maze, P-Funk)
Q: What does it mean to you to carry the torch for funk music?
We consider ourselves the heredity of the funk, carrying on the legacy of P-Funk and the responsibility that comes with it.
Funk Journeys: Eric "Shrizz" Rohner (HornDogz, Shrizz N Maze, P-Funk)
Q: So why don't we get into the 2022 trip? Because it's a really interesting story that I got to give you a lot of credit because you love the funk, you love the players in the Parliament, Funkadelic and other group. You made it happen. How did all this happen? Talk about that 2022 trip.
I went to Tallahassee after everything ended in 2021, and I was trying to reach out to George Clinton for a collaboration, which was tricky, but eventually I got in touch and was able to record with him.
Scottie Baldwin: Prince’s Live Sound Genius Tells All
Q: What goes into setting up Michael Bland and other drummers?
I learned about tuning for live versus studio sessions, and how Prince taught me about the balance of sound during performances.
Gina Thompson: From Rodney Jerkins to R&B Legacy – The Story Behind “The Things You Do
Q: What was your intention to get together with Fonny?
Gina describes her collaboration with Fonny as having a deep connection and mentions how the song had been originally written for another group before she got a chance to work with it.
Dawn Silva: Sly Stone’s Legacy, Queen of Funk, and Life in P-Funk
Q: Was there ever a discussion to work with Prince?
Briefly, but we were in George's camp, and it was kind of like a violation for anyone to come and start snatching talent.
