Before we got to his new music, we discussed Pete’s musical upbringing, his connection to classic soul “message music”, and much more.&nbsp;</p><p>Pete is an artist deeply in tune with his times, which is reflected in the lyrical content of his music. He is also in tune with the lineage his own work springs from, as you will learn from this talk. It was a pleasure having him on and we highly encourage you to check out his music.
