  • Like talking to your Music Friend

    Dylan feels like I'm talking to a good friend who knows the ins and outs of all the bands.

    Don't get deceived by the the comfortable very personable feel - the interviews are deep, and wonderfully constructed.

    Jenn Wassner was a great interview

He credits Ryan Olson as the key driver of the autotune experimentation, with Moogstar and others supporting the ongoing exploration.
Swamp Dogg
Q: How did the move to LA come about and what did it mean for your career?
