In this week’s podcast episode, My guest today is is one of my oldest and dearest friends – Los Angeles studio bass player Paul ILL.
I’ve known Paul for such a long time that I sometimes forget what a heavyweight musician he is, as he’s played with a wide variety of great artists both in the studio and on the road.
This includes superstars like Tina Turner, Pink, Gwen Stefani and Alicia Keys, to legends Bob Weir, Mike Love and producers Michael Lloyd and Linda Perry, among a long list too vast to mention.
During the interview we spoke about:
- how his gear has evolved over the last few years,
- his journey as a mental health professional and his work with musicians through Music Cares
- what it’s like playing with a full orchestra
- how the studio scene has changed in Los Angeles
- how he brings more to the table than just expert bass playing, and much more.
I spoke with Paul from his studio in Los Angeles.
Paul has also appeared on Episodes 92 and 239.
