Quote: “You have to truly love what you’re doing with zero expectations.“

Rob Riccardo and I continue our conversation today in part 2 of our interview…

This is a must listen for anyone wanting to go into the music industry or pursue a creative path. We go deep on the importance of deciding what kind of Artist you want to be, the ceaseless work requirement, and being patient while having faith that what you want will come to pass if you pay the price.

Rob was raised on the beaches of Long Island, NY. And, the foundation of the now Phoenix-based songwriter’s sound derives from the surf scene of his formative years on the East Coast.

Shortly after picking up the guitar in high school on a bet from a friend, Rob discovered the acoustically driven melodies and socially conscious lyrics of artists like Jack Johnson, John Butler Trio, and Ben Harper. These musicians, along with classic troubadours from his father’s record collection like James Taylor, would serve as the initial inspiration for writing his own songs.
