Welcome back to The Vocal Lab Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly talented Jonny Tobin. Jonny is a Grammy and Juno-nominated keyboardist, vocalist, and producer, renowned for his vibrant and innovative music that blurs the lines between a 90s video game and a 60s jazz record. With his work featured on everything from Vogue Germany to the Utah Jazz NBA team, Jonny has truly made his mark on the music scene.
During our conversation, we delve deep into Jonny's musical journey and his profound understanding of music's cultural and historical roots. Jonny shares how these insights shape his approach to creating music that's not only authentic but also universally resonant.
We also discuss the crucial role of relationships and collaborations in the industry. Jonny emphasizes how these connections have opened doors for him and helped pave the way for his success. He highlights the significance of maintaining a positive and collaborative atmosphere in the studio, which he believes is key to unleashing creativity and producing exceptional music.
Jonny's approach to songwriting and production is uniquely his own. He offers advice on finding and refining one's personal process and stresses the importance of having a clear vision and deadlines to avoid the pitfalls of perfectionism and endless revisions.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of our interview, coming this Thursday, where we'll explore more about Jonny's creative process and his recent high-profile collaborations. Whether you're a budding artist or a seasoned pro, there's a wealth of insight and inspiration to be found in Jonny's experiences.
