On this Mike Krompass Interview, a very heartfelt conversation about Mike losing his dad when he was only 18 months old, and how this has impacted his life… his drive and passion which compelled him to play as many, and all kinds of gigs – and made him curious enough to learn what goes on “behind the glass”… working with Desmond Child, Steven Tyler, Elton John, Nelly Furtado, Honeymoon Suite… Mike pulls back the curtain and explains, in plain and simple terms, the challenges of running a small boutique label – this was incredibly interesting… fish & chips, leaving Canada, old jazz records, castles, kids, martial arts and more. GREAT convo, super open and direct
