Rick Beato on this channel is so unexpected, thanks a lot for this video. I think it's important that figures like him are given enough space and visibility to talk about how the creative world is shifting.

I write all my own music and I can't imagine doing it any other way. There's a real joy in the creative process of music making that I just couldn't hand over to someone else.

Rick being interviewed is almost better than Rick being the interviewer. It really shows Rick's every day personality. Great job.

Rick doesn’t want to say it. What do modern pop stars bring to the table? They’re great looking. That’s pretty much it.
