Time with a legend.

 

I really don’t know how or why I get the honor of meeting so many unbelievable people but I am grateful for each opportunity.

This past weekend I had the privilege of spending time with mega producer  Steve Lillywhite . No one’s work was more inspirational to me in my younger years than his. Listening to the album “War” by U2, I knew what I had to do with my life. I had to make records.

Like most people at the top of their game, he was a very down to earth and gracious guy. Full of life and humour, a true joy to be around and of all that I learned from him, I think the greatest was just how to enjoy life, be friendly and do what you love.

It was hard not to ask millions of questions since he has produced some of the best recordings of all time, but he was always willing to share his experiences and knowledge.

Steve shared some fantastic stories about his career that gave me inspiration to go out and make history by recording great music! He also shared insights into production techniques that are priceless.

I am truly grateful to Steve Lillywhite and all the others like him that are willing to share their unique skills and perspective on this wonderful art of making records!
