POPE

JOIN THE FAITH

My guest this week on JazzBites is a one-man powerhouse of talent and creativity - singer, songwriter, classically-trained pianist, arranger, and producer whose distinctive sound defines his genius. The child of a musically-accomplished family going back two generations, he began playing the piano at three years of age and wrote his first record before reaching his teens. Today we'll be talking about what drives him to produce music of such quality, the inspiration behind the songs, and his remarkable ability at writing and producing material in the blink of an eye.
