Today we’re excited to be connecting with Norman Matthew again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Norman, thanks for joining us again. Just to level set a bit for folks who may have missed our last interview together, can you briefly introduce yourself?
Billboard charting producer, mixer and songwriter. Featured on SiriusXMx, Xbox & NBC. All possible to those who have believed in, supported and never wavered through all the ups, downs & struggles through the years. Forever grateful 🙏🏼

Alright, so our main goal today is to give our audience an update on what you have been up to since our last conversation. We’d love to hear how things are going and what you are most looking forward to or excited about these days.
Covid kicked off all kinds of obstacles these past few years. I had to drop my ego and evolve to survive. Learning life is not about me, life is about the us, the bigger picture. Learned a lot the hard way. There were not so fun times. Vulnerable times. Times life spun out of control. But, the true believers pulled me through the journey. Dropping the ego & thinking of the world as a whole. I am lighter and weightless 🙂 It’s not about what you’ve done. It’s what you do with it and after it. I learned from many great people that “the only reason to be looking down at someone is because you are reaching out and arm to pull them up!”. I had to hit my bottom to start the rebuild off the knowledge of all the lessons life taught me.

Alright, so let’s do something a bit more fast-paced and lighthearted. We call this our lightning round and we’ll ask you a few quick questions.
