<p>In this episode, I sit down with an old friend, Nabil Ayers — music executive, host of The <a href="https://www.identifiedpod.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Identified </em></a>podcast and author of an acclaimed memoir '<a href="https://amzn.to/4hkIJxP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Life in the Sunshine</a>,' which explores his experiences growing up as the son of legendary jazz musician Roy Ayers, a father that he never knew as a kid. The book AND the podcast explore questions of identity, race, and what constitutes family in environments that don't necessarily conform to "traditional" expectations. From his early days as a drummer and record store owner to his current role as a major figure as a music business executive, Nabil reflects on the experiences, lessons and epiphanies that have help to define his creative life.</p><br><p> * * * * </p><p>PLEASE FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:</p><p>Website:</p><p> https://www.TheCApod.com </p><br><p>Facebook:</p><p> https://www.facebook.com/TheCApod/ </p><br><p>Instagram:</p><p> https://www.instagram.com/CreativeAsylumCA/ </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
