It's a people skill as well… trying to work with people to get the best out of them…

I released I Am Experienced on June 20th.  Now that it's six months old, I figured I'd like to reflect on this project a little here on my podcast. The gentleman you are seeing in the picture is Rizo, and his studio is The Dreamcatchers Recording Studio in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.  I knew that I wanted all of the creatives on this project to be Black, and Rizo came highly recommended by my favorite Dayton rapper.  That was key…

Rizo is one of the owners at The Dreamcatchers Recording Studio, which is on Main Street in Reynoldsburg. His skill set includes engineering, mixing, mastering, production, guitar, bass, piano, drums, and being a good hang. We had this conversation last month, two days before the Super Bowl. You'll get to learn about his process…
