What kind of music do you listen to?
Can music take you around the world?
We talked with Ernie Adams, an incredible Chicago-based percussionist who says he's been blessed to work in 48 countries all over the world with legendary, Grammy Award winning artists from the jazz world, the pop world, fusion world, Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music worlds and beyond.
He's played on stages, done recording sessions, worked on music for the hit Chicago TV show "Empire," and so much more.
We talked about influences, balancing time between work and family and the importance of following your passion and making things happen!
This episode was produced by Aliyah, Jonas, D'Angelo, Genaro, and Elvis.
Enjoy!
