Harry Mack
Q: What was the catalyst that pushed you to pursue making videos and growing your platform?
A friend helped him create a beat over a big-band sample and post it on YouTube; the video's success and view count inspired him to invest fully in his own videos and a broader career.
Harry Mack
Q: How did you get started with freestyling and then connect that with your drumming background?

Josh Groban
Q: What role does presence play in live performance versus studio work?
Presence and storytelling in real time are crucial; being connected to the lyrics and the audience often matters more than technical precision. They talk about blending with the team and maintaining energy throughout a show.
