This week we feature Harvey Mason jr., the multi-talented Chair & Interim President/CEO of the Recording Academy and Grammys who has written and produced for John Legend, Babyface and Aretha Franklin, among others. 

As one of the busiest individuals in the Music/TV/Film industry, we are extremely grateful for this opportunity to sit down with one of the most influential and powerful voices in the entertainment world today. We discuss some of the biggest initiatives currently being taken within the Recording Academy focused on artist representation, diversity, and equality including the Black Music Collective and Change Music. 

We also dive into Harvey’s Top 5 Smooth songs that he has written/produced for Justin Timberlake, Whitney Houston, Chris Brown, Tyrese, and B2K. 

This is an episode you definitely don’t want to miss!
