This past spring, Willow Smith released a song called “Transparent Soul," which found her getting away from the pop-and r&b-influenced sound of her earlier work and diving headlong into punk-rock. Willow had an important collaborator along for the ride: Travis Barker, someone who's also reinvented himself over the years. He’s gone from Blink-182 drummer to songwriter to producer to label owner and, most recently, a kind of pop-punk mentor for a younger generation of artists. Willow and Barker sat down in September to talk about everything from skateboarding to the advantages of a shaved head to what they see as a rock revival in recent years.

Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians: Willow + Travis Barker

For more than 50 years, the writers at Rolling Stone have been sitting down with artists to get inside their sound, their creative process, and the realities of being a musician — but what happens when we take the writer away and ask two great artists to interview each other?

In each episode, two iconic musicians sit down for a conversation about their discography, artistic approaches, personal lives, and everything in between. With the artists in charge, no topic is off-limits.

The Musicians on Musicians podcast offers extended, deep-dive versions of the conversations between artists that you can read in the November issue of Rolling Stone. With the musicians in the driver’s seat, this is not your typical interview series. You’ll get to hear the moments in which two musical forces connect — artist to artist, person to person.

Musicians on Musicians is adapted from Rolling Stone’s popular franchise.
