Everybody Loves Rob Milton x On The Way Podcast | #ontheway
Q: You've described the project as a metaphorical, interwoven piece. How did the name Everybody Loves Rob Milton shape the concept of the album?
The name signals a universal message about self-love and community; it's a reassurance that love for oneself and for others can coexist with authenticity, pride in one's art, and a non-traditional storytelling approach. The album uses interludes to show Rob as a human being, balancing vulnerability with confidence, which frames the music as a personal, evolving reintroduction.
Episode 288: Afri-konned ft. Brandon Woody
Q: Your band, New Pendo, came about when you were at college. How did you first encounter with your band members? And how urgent was the need to get out your songwriting and how did that process begin?
I had to write music all the time at the Brubeck Institute, and I learned about my identity as a musician there, which led to forming my band.
