Episode description as stored
Thai Long Ly is a Los Angeles-based producer, audio engineer, mixer and bassist with over two decades in the industry and has worked with artists like Pink, Dionne Warwick, Robbie Williams, Elle King and Postmodern Jukebox.
In this conversation we get into what it actually looks like to build a career in music. Tai shares how a near death experience at 12 shaped his entire philosophy on life, how he sparked a mentorship with Earth Wind and Fire's Al McKay by running up to him in a parking lot, and what finally brought him back to playing the bass after a 15 year break.
We also get into fear, imposter syndrome, presence, acceptance, and why knowing why you're doing something is the only real career advice that matters.
