Episode description

Everybody has a calling. If you open your eyes, there’s a maker instinct in you. For Sir Mix-A-Lot, creativity manifested in the form of rabid love for music in general and for hip-hop in particular. Cobbling together an immortal career first out of cast-off electronics and then out of platinum records, Mix was never concerned with success when he started out. He simply kept doing what he felt called to do - make music that gets people dancing - until he found himself in the midst of a profitable business.

In our talk we discuss:

* the early days

* How to stay hungry over a long career

* Necessity breeds creativity

* He’s a self-described tinkerer. And I mean, reading schematics, writing the code, and get out the soldering iron tinkerer.

I guarantee, this is a side of Sir Mix A Lot you won't see in the music videos. 

 

Enjoy!
