For the second episode of the Music Production Series, OPM Legend, singer-songwriter, author, photographer, Jim Paredes joins the show. He was a key element to the last People Power Revolution through his work with APO Hiking Society and is one of our country’s greatest artists. It has always been part of my bucket list to have a conversation with him not just for his music but for the effect of his music during my parents’ era.
If there’s one thing you will get from this episode, I hope it’s the feeling of empowerment because it is now OUR turn to write our story the same way he did back then.
