  • 70. Emilio Estefan: Creating the Global Latin Music Scene, Gloria Estefan, Shakira and Montreux Miami
    Episode 70: Emilio Estefan. The global latin music scene was shaped by this incredible, visionary, and kind man. Born in Cuba and immigrating to the U.S. with a dream, Emilio Estefan built an empire alongside his wife, Gloria Estefan. From founding Miami Sound Machine and bringing Latin music to the mainstream charts to serving as President of Sony Music, where he helped launch the careers of Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin—his impact on Latin music and the city of Miami is undeniable. We sat down with Emilio backstage at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami, where he is now an investor.

We sat down backstage at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami, where she was playing with Willow Smith, and got into all of it—how she came up with The Pocket Queen name, how she first went viral and continued her social media growth, how she landed the Willow Smith gig, and how she’s running her career as both an artist and a business. We also talked about her journey from Berklee student to full-time pro, the challenges of balancing creativity and entrepreneurship, and what she’s learned along the way. So here it is!

We’re coming to you from backstage at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami, where she just played an amazing set with Willow. Mohini is absolutely one of the greatest bassists in the game right now. She came up in India, built a huge name for herself, and is now living in the U.S., touring the world. We get into her journey, her artist career, her inspiring drive, and something I had no idea about—her entrepreneurial work, which she keeps super low-key (and honestly, that just makes me respect her even more). We also talk playing with Willow, their viral Tiny Desk performance, life on tour, and more. Hope you dig this convo with my friend Mohini Dey.

  • 67. Rex Kudo: Losing Everything in the LA Fires to Making Hits for Post Malone, Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert
    Episode 67 – Rex Kudo is one of the most influential producers in modern hip-hop. His big break came when he co-wrote/produced Post Malone’s “White Iverson”, and from there, he’s worked with Lil Uzi Vert, A$AP Rocky, Juice WRLD, J. Cole, DJ Khaled, Skrillex, M.I.A., Mac Miller, Roddy Ricch, Future, Young Thug, The Weeknd, Trippie Redd, and has even produced alongside Rick Rubin. Lately, I’ve been spending more time with Rex, and I get the feeling he’s becoming the next Rick Rubin. He’s got this energy, this perspective on music and life that’s just different. He’s inspiring, community-driven, and one of the most genuinely good people in the game. But last month, he unfortunately lost his house and studio, burned down in the Pacific Palisades fires. Instead of letting it destroy him, he’s kept moving forward with pure optimism for the future and realizing how lucky he already is. That really hit me. In this episode, we talk about his journey, his process, the hits, the lessons from working with legends, making new legends, and how he’s pushing through one of the toughest moments of his life. Rex is one of those guys you just root for, and I’m stoked to share his story with you. Hope you dig this convo with the great Rex Kudo. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano’ is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.
