Phabo also breaks down his new project Ratchet & Blues, the creative freedom behind it, paying homage to classic R&B, and how touring has helped him grow as an artist and performer. They also talk fan-building, the business side of touring, Ari Lennox’s impact on modern R&B, and what’s next — including Blue Note performances and a full Ratchet & Blues tour.
