On this week's episode, we're joined by Svmbv! Svmbv is an incredible young talent from Brockton, MA, who seems to be able to do it all: singing, songwriting, producing, and engineering! We had a real fun conversation with Svmbv about his early start in music, his long-term aspirations, and the huge influence that his family & friends have had on his journey as an artist. We also shared some of our hot takes on R&B music, discussed what it's like growing up with African parents, and reacted to the finale of Netflix's 'Rhythm and Flow'. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!
