On April 18, Tane Runo invited us into the Burbank studio facility where he's been creating and refining new music for our second interview together. Tane is an accomplished producer whose credits include work with Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, and many others, but this conversation gave us a closer look at the mind and process behind the music. Before we sat down, the Studio Talks team had the chance to watch Tane in his element as he finished an idea with his collaborator Doobie. That moment set the tone for the interview, giving us a glimpse into the way he experiments, reshapes ideas, and stays open to where the music wants to go. In this conversation, Tane dives deep into his creative process, reflects on the differences between Atlanta and LA's music scenes, and shares what he's building next with his upcoming project, All of the Above.
