It's hard to believe that hip-hop/R&B artist Ro Joaquim wasn't always confident about his vocals. His richly textured voice has a buoyant quality that soars above the atmospheric production of songs like "Touchdown", "Inner Peace", and "Water Fights". Guest co-host Chelsey Bennett (aka Sey Blu) and I talked to Ro about learning how to pivot during the pandemic, the benefits of shooting a music video during lockdown, and his new protest song about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Produced and hosted by two self-professed music nerds, this.broken.mixtape is an interview-based podcast that explores how music can play a vital and meaningful role in our lives.
