"WE DO THIS FOR THE LOVE" - RG

"My mother was a tap dancer in San Francisco, my cousin was a drummer, mixing engineer and producer who mixed a Taj Mahal album. I grew up on a lot of Motown, Stevie Wonder, Temptations, the Beatles, Sade, Dylan, Van Morrison, Hendrix, Paul Simon, Pink Floyd...until age 12 when I started listening to Herbie Hancock, Miles, Radiohead, Rancid, Coltrane, Monk, and A Tribe Called Quest.... I still listen  to what I grew up on, but now I listen to everything from Wu-Tang, Igor Stravinsky, Tame Impala, Eddie Palmieri, to King to Yebba..."
