Description: Test Drive a Free Lesson with Berklee Online: berkonl.in/2HJcLP8 Check out More Berklee Online Interviews on the Music Is My Life Podcast: berkonl.in/2YspI33 In this episode of 4/4, Patrick Droney talks about starting his career at such a young age, and how he hopes his recent signing with Warner Records will set him up to be a legacy artist at the label, like Prince was. He also discusses how his latest album, “State of the Heart” draws inspiration from the late 1980s production choices of Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Steve Winwood, and more. What does Patrick Droney have to say about “The Other Side,” the debut he recorded at 14? What Cher song does Patrick Droney have in his head every single day? Why does Patrick Droney associate the Kentucky Derby with Bette Midler? You’ll have to watch to find out! The 4/4 interview series from Berklee Online is both a thoughtful and playful conversation with each episode’s guest. Host and seasoned music journalist Pat Healy asks four reverent questions—and four irreverent ones—ensuring each interview provides fresh insight into every musician that even their biggest fans won’t know.
