Two weeks in a row, Inline G is bringing you former winners of the Kobe International Flute Competition; with this week welcoming Spanish-Filipino flutist Rafael Adobas Bayog. Rafael and I chatted about the unique musical education he got in Ibiza, his compositional style, the Nielsen and Kobe competitions and how channelling your inner lion may be the key to success. We also chat about our shared love of Steve Aoki and try to name as many Taylor Swift hits as we can.
