Pomo | The Genius Behind "Dang!" & "Am I Wrong"

The Asa Park Podcast

Pomo is the producer behind Mac Miller's "Dang!", Anderson .Paak's "Am I Wrong", and John Batiste's Grammy-winning album — but the story behind his sound is even crazier. We talk about the unlikely path from garage bands to global hits, creating one of the greatest basslines of the last decade, producing with FKJ, Thundercat and KAYTRANADA, and why perfectionism almost stopped him from releasing music at all.
