In this episode, the show's guest is Julian Vaughn, a young man who has reached number one on the Billboard chart with his effortless blend of jazz, R&B, funk, Calypso, and other sensory sensitivities to music, making his own distinctively delightful sound. Julian is a songwriter, producer and bassist extraordinaire who loves being on tour and doing live shows because of the people and how they connect with his music. After returning from tour, the first thing Julian does is write new music while the inspiration is still fresh in his mind.

Julian has had radio success and believes that if he likes a song, the fans will love it. He has a large catalog of songs and changes his set list often to keep things fresh. He prefers being independent to signing with a label because it gives him more creative control. His music is designed to make people feel good and he hopes they will want to listen again and recommend his songs to others.

Listen to hear Julian talk about maintaining relationships, his musical influences, and how he makes his music. Find out when Julian knows when a song is ready to be released, the artists he has collaborated with, what he'd rather do if he wasn't making music or playing basketball when you tune in.
