Description
In this episode, we share co-host Raza’s six song story, thus finishing out these episodes introducing you to our hosts. We wouldn’t ask our guests to do anything we wouldn’t do ourselves. Check out Raza’s stories of growing up in Pakistan, his audiophile Dad and family members exposing him to a diverse set list of artists and genres. Learn about his musical journey arriving in the US at 10 years old ready to consume all the entertainment he imagined would be available to him in the States. From Guns ‘N’ Roses, Type O Negative, and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Maroon 5 and Foster the People, Raza shares stories of joy and excitement as well as struggle and overcoming, with a little Pirate Metal thrown in. Finally, Raza shares his own musical project, Solamente, and the song he wrote for his children, The Offspring. Pull up a folding chair, grab a drink, find a spot around the fire, and enjoy the conversation and community. Follow your hosts David, Raza, and Carolina every week as they embark on an epic adventure to find the songs that are stuck to us like audible tattoos to tell the story of who we are and where we’ve been. If you have someone whose life you’d like to hear in 6 songs, let us know!
