Artists Loving Artists

Dream it, See it, Believe itI've got the immense pleasure of having Brad Sundberg as a guest this week on "Artists Loving Artists" .Ever since the portal to Michael Jackson's magic catalog has opened for me, the amount of creative Synchronicities occurring are nothing short of what I would call amazing and I'm grateful to be meeting people like Brad along the way.Brad Sundberg joined Michael’s Jackson team during the production of Captain EO in 1985, and remained with Michael as one of his engineers and Technical Director for nearly 18 years.  Brad was actively involved in the studio production of four of Michael’s studio albums: BAD, Dangerous, HIStory, and Blood On The Dance Floor. He also worked on remixes and edits for countless singles, short films, and tour preparations associated with these projects. On top of this, Brad and his expertise assisted in bringing Michael's dream of Neverland Valley Ranch to reality by designing and installing the music and video systems from top to bottom on the property.If this wasn't cool enough, Brad himself is totally that: Cool! We sat for a fantastic and in depth conversation with some great picks of his. Complete with outstanding stories, memories, and behind the scenes moments fans will absolutely love listening along to, this is an episode for not only MJ fans but anyone who appreciates a long career in music.

The crossover ALA has been waiting for!I am so stoked to reintroduce Artists Loving Artists after a looong hiatus in a unique form and what better way to do it than with a collab with one of my favorite Podcasts/Podcasters: HI*Sessions! Based on Oahu, Hawai'i HI*Sessions is a project started in 2011 by Dave Kusumoto and Jon Yamasato. The idea was to provide intimate, quality live music performances to the world. By utilizing Dave's video production experience and Jon's rolodex of Hawaii's top talent, HI*Sessions was born. From there, Jon branched HI*Sessions into a popular podcast featuring that same top talent and expanding to interview those in music, wellness, art and everything in between.Now hosted by Jon, Devon and Kyle, this trio has got the chemistry, the questions and the formula for HI*Sessions down to a science and ALA is honored to be a guest!This week, the tables turn and Mina (It's me, Hi!) is interviewed by the trio about her music journey and Artists Loving Artists. We get into discussions about the music and the scene on Hawai'i vs. Mainland , discuss how to keep up in an Artistic space, go down memory lane with some of our first concert experiences and get into a mini-round of ALA with Jon, Kyle and Devon's picks!Stay tuned...I have a sneaking suspicion that this won't be the last time we hear from the fellas on ALA... :)Thank you all for sticking around and stay tuned for a new era of ALA dropping oh so soon - Be sure to Follow and Subscribe and Check out HI*Sessions Music Performances and Podcast on Youtube and where ever you listen to podcasts!Have a great week and Mahalo to Jon, Devon and Kyle!

I've got Phil Kegley and Paul Chapin from HOW MUCH?! Studio/Production company in Austin, Texas.
