Today on Conversations from Here I speak with stellar musician, prolific producer, wide-ranging composer, Musicians Institute teacher and alum of The English Beat, RICK TORRES! We discuss his early life growing up in a musical family in Hawai'i, coming to the mainland for schooling, being a working musician and impresario in 1990s Los Angeles, how the music business has changed since the early days, following in Chuck Berry's footsteps on tour, becoming an honorary Wailer and having a life-long love affair with the Rolling Stones. Enjoy!

Episode 21:  Etan G The Jewish Rapper

Welcome to Conversations from Here with me Dana Ziegler. These candid, unfettered talks create connection and inspiration across the human story. These are the sharings of how we came to be ourselves, how we found our life's purpose and how we made it from there to here. I speak with performers, artists, artisans, creators, innovators, entrepreneurs and other remarkable people about what they do and how they came to do it. Also, the music you hear on this show is performed, as always, by Brad Watson.
