Episode 009 [Boonn]

For the XXWHY season finale, who better to talk to than my producer, co-writer, guitarist and mentor the great Kevin Hissink aka Boonn (@iamboon) // Kev plays a key role in every song I make. We discussed making ‘Best Friends’ and ‘blood//water’, finding guitar at an early age, dropping out of school, and who we resist for. Truly one of my best friends, and this was a special moment to celebrate him. Thanks for all the support this season with over 50,000 listens of the podcast, and can’t wait to do more of this in the future.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
