Welcome to Episode #150 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran reconnect with London-based singer-songwriter, Gareth Donkin.
Currently riding high from the release of his second full-length album 'Extraordinary', Gareth's star has continued to rise to exponential heights over the last few years. As a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Gareth's distinct vision and style and has seen him garner high-profile support over the years - most notably through US label drink sum wtr. As an artist who openly wears his influences on his sleeve, Gareth's affections for artists including Rod Temperton, Jamiroquai and Stevie Wonder are lovingly laced into his music as he continues to pay homage to architects of the genre as well as expertly being able to inject enough of his own charm and charisma into the mix and carve his own path forward.
The conversation delves into the creation of 'Extraordinary', Gareth's affections for yacht rock, song-writing and addressing moments of self doubt and insecurity. We also discuss some of Gareth's outside collaborations with De La Soul and Tall Black Guy & Zo!
