But in recent years he has also struck out on his own, releasing a staggering amount of music (11 albums in 2 years!) as well as some of the highest quality music video content out there. The man is a machine, and the music is stellar! Chris and Cory talk about the keys to staying productive, the process behind Cory's expansive video/audio sessions, the rise of the mythical Vulfpeck, the difference between success and fulfillment and much more in this episode of Inside the Musician's Brain.
