“Enjoy the round-robin of different aspects of music.” – David Paich
Catch David Paich, who is a multi-Grammy and Emmy Award-winning artist and is best known as a co-founder of the legendary band Toto, tuning in from Santa Barbara, California. He casts light on the things required for a potential singer-songwriter and emphasises the need for good melody at the top of his list. Further, he reveals that the key to success is constant practice and training.
Talking about the creative impulse, song inspirations can be drawn from the shower, while driving a car, or even while walking down the street. From talking about the importance of science and technology ( Quincy’s ideology) in music to the importance of the theme of love in the music business, this conversation takes a serious note when David Paich talks about the hardships he faced. The icing on the cake is when David speaks about coining Toto's "Hydra" album based on Leonard Cohen's work. Other interesting anecdotes from his time with Michael Jackson and Sir Paul McCartney are major highlights of this interview. David also puts forward the amazing thought that real beautiful songs require a beautiful melody, to begin with.
