Dre Smith (Producing a Kind Generation)

Welcome to Roadcase!!  Dre Smith of Producing a Kind Generation is on the show this week, and this is an absolutely stellar interview!  PAKG has a new album coming out in April, and Dre talks to Josh about the myriad challenges he has faced in his life and as a result, how he came into his artistic expression fairly late. He has experienced horrible family trauma, and we discuss what impact his difficult upbringing has had on him and how it has affected his own musical direction.  While PAKG is a unique and compelling Afro Art Rock band in which Dre is able to showcase his myriad musical talents, his message is clear and goes far beyond the music itself:  we must speak out against injustice, all forms of racism, economic oppression and the immense challenges endemic to the environment where he grew up, and spread a message of love and kindness -- but not without an eye towards enacting positive change, as difficult as that may seem. Dre is a kind and thoughtful soul who shares with Josh some of the personal stories that have shaped him into the human he is today, and what that means for Dre personally, professionally and musically. Please join us on the Roadcase bus for this amazing interview with Dre Smith of Producing a Kind Generation. It's a great one!!
