Why The Smiths are actually happy with Quantic, Rosie Lowe, Emma-Jean Thackray and Adriano Adewale
Adriano Adewale, Emma-Jean Thackray and Rosie Lowe join Quantic to discuss how they know when a song is finished and the moment they realised they were a musician.
Musician and producer Quantic (signed to Tru Thoughts) is joined by singer songwriter Rosie Lowe (who's worked with Jay Electronica and Floating Points), Brazilian percussionist and composer Adrian Adewale (worked with Salif Keita, Airton Moreira and Flora Purim) and multi-instrumentalist Emma-Jean Thackray (award winning jazz musician).
Led by Quantic they’ll be discussing how they know when a song is finished, what the biggest obstacle has been and how they overcame it, and the moment they realised they were a musician.
