<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taj Mahal<\/strong>, July 2018<\/a>
Taj Mahal has spent his career bending genres to his own signature style. His work includes moving explorations in jazz, funk, reggae, country, rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, and more. He has worked with everybody from Howlin\u2019 Wolf and Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones to Bob Marley and the Wailers. This conversation finds him touching upon these milestones as he revisits his 60+ years in the music industry, and shares how he can so comfortably and effectively jump genres.
Quoted<\/strong>: \u201cThe whole experience of coming out of Africa into the Western civilization just broke up family and culture \u2026 So at this point, for me, it\u2019s just connecting the dots between family I recognize, musically.\u201d\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Martha

Martha Reeves<\/strong>, July 2020<\/a>
After nearly 60 years in the business, Martha Reeves has experienced nearly everything the music industry can throw at a singer, but she doesn\u2019t let even the worst of it throw her. In this most recent episode of Music\u00a0Is\u00a0My\u00a0Life<\/em>, the Motown singer, best known for mega-hits \u201cDancing in the Street\u201d and \u201cHeat Wave,\u201d reflects on how some of what we\u2019re seeing now in the United States now is an example of history repeating itself, but she says that she\u2019s still optimistic about music being able to change people\u2019s hearts and minds.
Quoted<\/strong>: \u201cWe were shot at. We were chased from place to place but never harmed, or maybe on a couple of occasions there was harm to a couple of the members, but we survived. When we got past the hatred, we found a whole lot of love from the people who would come and see us.\u201d\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Prince
Prince Charles Alexander, getting funky in the 1980s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Prince Charles Alexander<\/a><\/strong>, December 2016<\/a>
Before Prince Charles Alexander became a music production professor at Berklee<\/a>, he made a name for himself as a funk artist in Boston. In this two-part episode, you\u2019ll hear about Prince Charles\u2019 early career, opening for Duran Duran and playing an instrument called a Lyricon, and you\u2019ll hear about his transition into production for Bad Boy Entertainment, engineering iconic albums from Notorious B.I.G., Mary J Blige, and more.
Quoted: <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m in Manhattan at Madison Square Garden, and 30,000 people are yelling my name, but I\u2019m going to get in my Skylark and go home, right? So I\u2019m thinking, \u2018how absurd is this? …\u00a0 How do you get out of this? How do you make sense out of this moving forward? How do you pay your rent?\u2019\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanessa Carlton<\/strong>, June 2020<\/a>
Vanessa Carlton has come a long way since releasing the chart-topping hit \u201cA Thousand Miles\u201d in 2002. She discusses being catapulted into fame as a teenager and her experience dealing with the music industry\u2019s seedy underbelly, including a controlling relationship with Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins. She also talks about the people who pulled her up along the way, including one of her closest friends, Stevie Nicks.
Quoted: <\/strong>\u201cShe was there, for instance, when I was in the middle of having my child, cut out of me in a c-section. She was there, singing to me in my ear, holding my hand.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Darlene Love<\/strong>, November 2018<\/a>
Each holiday season, we are gifted with the music of Darlene Love, whose iconic song \u201cChristmas (Baby Please Come Home)\u201d is a holiday classic. Love talks about working with Phil Spector and what it was like singing backup for artists such as Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, and a whole lot more. She also discusses the ups and downs of her career and what she had to do to stay afloat, including a short stint as a house cleaner, and eventually her return back to the spotlight, which includes recognition in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a role in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom<\/em>.\u00a0
Quoted: \u201c<\/strong>I was cleaning this lady\u2019s bathroom and it was during the holiday season, and I was taking on more jobs, so I could have a little money more for the kids for Christmas. And I heard \u2018Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)\u2019 playing on her radio, in her house, which was amazing to me that I would hear that song while I was doing what I was doing. And from that day to this, I said, \u2018I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to do it, Lord, but I\u2019m going to get out there and I\u2019m going to sing, someway, somehow.\u2019\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Burton<\/strong>, February 2017<\/a>
On the eve of his retirement from performing live (and from teaching classes at Berklee Online<\/a>), Gary Burton spent time contemplating his career with us, reflecting on the 66 albums he made, the seven Grammys he won, all of the music he learned and taught at Berklee, and the lifetime of friendships that music afforded him.
Quoted<\/strong>: \u201cMusic is a very social kind of art form. Not like a painter who goes into a room by themself and makes a painting, or a book, or a novelist, or something. With music, it\u2019s very much a collaborative art form. And you learn from and are influenced by the people that you work with.\u201d\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Divinity
Divinity Roxx is an Interdisciplinary Studies major at Berklee Online<\/a>, set to graduate in 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Divinity Roxx<\/strong>, March 2017<\/a>
Don\u2019t take our word for why you should listen to this conversation with the bassist for Beyonc\u00e9 in her all-female band. Take it from Divinity Roxx, herself, who tweeted about this episode shortly after its release, \u201cBestie called and said this was the best interview she\u2019s heard me do \u2026 said I told stories I\u2019d never shared before.\u201d
Quoted<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cBeyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z showed up. \u2026 I remember them sitting there. And that\u2019s when it became really real for me and I started thinking this could be cool. After all of my \u2018Eh, whatever,\u2019 I was like, \u2018Wait a minute, this could be really awesome.\u2019 So I would go in the bathroom, look at myself and say, \u2018You just dig in. You\u2019ve got to get this. You can do this.\u2019\u201d\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Horn<\/strong>, April 2018<\/a>
When we spoke with Trevor Horn, he was studying bass with Berklee Online<\/a>, and having some work done on his house. Yes, the audio is a little rough in spots, but he was in a reflective mood, talking candidly about writing \u201cVideo Killed the Radio Star,\u201d about his work with Yes and Seal, and how his dad\u2014who was also a musician\u2014didn\u2019t want him to get involved in the music industry. Horn basically told him: Music is my life.
Quoted<\/strong>: \u201cWhen I got to about 17-and-a-half \u2026 I realized all this working during the day is a bit of a joke, really, because the only thing I\u2019m interested in is music and I\u2019m never gonna be any good at this stuff. And I woke my parents up at four o\u2019clock in the morning to tell them that I decided no matter the risks I was gonna have a career in music. \u2026 They were horrified. \u2026 My father said, \u2018You\u2019re just not good enough to be professional.\u2019 And he was right. And he said, \u2018You know it\u2019s a hard life. You\u2019ve got no idea what you\u2019re getting into.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Well, I don\u2019t care because I know it\u2019s the only thing that I think I can succeed at and the only thing I\u2019m interested in.\u2019\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Ween<\/strong>, March 2018<\/a>
Guitarist Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo) discusses how he found his guitar tone, what he thinks about being termed a \u201cjam band,\u201d and how he and his partner in song, Gene Ween (Aaron Freeman) blended such an unlikely stew of influences to form their sound.
Quoted<\/strong>: \u201cI was looking for the most abrasive, hardest music that was out there, no matter what it was. And he was into the weirdest stuff out there, no matter what it was. And then there was stuff where we met on common ground; we both loved Devo very much. We both loved Laurie Anderson\u2019s \u2018O Superman,\u2019 we both loved The Dr. Demento Show<\/em>.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janet Billig Rich<\/strong>, June 2020<\/a>
Janet Billig Rich started her career as the ultimate Replacements fan, and worked her way up through multiple roles in the music industry. This includes being on the ground floor of some of the most iconic grunge albums of all time, and managing acts such as Nirvana, Hole, Dinosaur Jr., the Lemonheads, and the Breeders. Then taking a turn into music supervision for documentaries and musicals such as Rock of Ages<\/em>. Billig Rich\u2019s Music\u00a0Is\u00a0My\u00a0Life\u00a0<\/em>episode is a true testament to following your bliss and making a career out of it.\u00a0
Quoted: <\/strong>\u201cIf you have a client that doesn\u2019t want to get onstage or is having a tantrum about something and you\u2019re the manager, you\u2019re screwed: The band is not going onstage. No one is getting paid, it upends the entire thing. But in theater, if someone doesn\u2019t want to get up onstage, there\u2019s an understudy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
