On this edition of Restoring the Soul, we are please to bring you an encore conversation with Rob Mathes. Rob is Emmy an award-winning, Grammy nominated, Tony nominated music producer, composer, arranger, singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and guitarist. The list of names that Rob has worked with is extraordinary--including production and songwriting collaborations with Sting on his last three albums, and serving as musical director on Sting's “The Last Ship: World Tour with the Royal Philharmonic". As an arranger Rob has written orchestrations for artists all over the stylistic spectrum—from Jay Z, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Yo Yo Ma, Luciano Pavaorotti, and Panic at the Disco. In part 1 of Michael's interview with Rob, some of what you'll discover is: Why Rob feels closer to God listening to Bach than a Sunday morning sermon. What it's been like to collaborate with Stevie Wonder, Sting, Yo Yo Ma, and other renowned artists. What lies behind truly great songwriting and musical production.
