The Bob Power Interview
In this episode of Input\Output, Geoff and Eli interview legendary “Soul Music Producer” Bob Power. In the 80s, 90s, and 00s, Power worked with some of the most influential artists of the Hip Hop and R&B world, including A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, India Arie and Meshell Ndegeocello.
The hosts ask Power about his journey from session player to producer, rummage through his brain for tips and techniques and grill him about some of his favorite gear. They also take a detour to discuss the business of music, and how ask Power how he’s continued to adapt to a changing landscape.

Listen to this one all the way through, and there is a 97.89% chance that your mind will be changed. Not an ounce of fat on it, I promise. It’s a great listen, and I stand by it. Now give it an honest try!
