    His impact cannot be overstated enough. At a time when Michael, Prince, Madonna, Whitney and George dominated the 80s, out of nowhere comes Terence Trent D’Arby like a strike of lightning. Completely shook up the industry and disappeared in that same flash. Multi instrumentalist, great singer, song writer and charisma by the loads.

    Seriously, seeing one of the greatest shapers of my life (even to this, my 52nd year), learning that our formative musical journeys literally consisted of the same caliber/dichotomy of artists, remembering those times when I felt profound loss per the media-ized response which I feel kept this profit from fully expanding publicly, yet now being thankful they were (hopefully) spared the evil possibilities, I am brought to a place “where it all makes
    sense.” I’ve led a life of service with an authentic heart and compassion. I am (more than ever) thankful for the spiritual and artistic influence this piece re-affirms. Blessings, peace, joy, harmony, and love to all who are depicted and who view this piece. =PEACE

I own at least one copy of every album he has released and have been fortunate to see him live in London and shake his hand. You name them, I've seen 'em all or enough of the greats to confidently say that he is one of the greatest and most complete artists to explode onto the music scene. Not only one of the greatest singers ever, but also one of the greatest songwriters of alltime. This was a beautiful and profoundly illuminating exchange between two brilliant men of the Arts and culture. Loved it. Thank you!

    I'm going to call him TTD (no disrespect) but thats when I MET him - in the 90s! very exciting artist indeed. Later I had the honour working with his key collaborator Kevin (I won't drop names here _) who is the cousin of a college buddy from Boston. Crazy small universe. Kevin helped produce a top tier record with my super talented cousins who were Warner artists at the time. As u can tell from ur interview, #SanandaMaitreya (TTD) is not 'impressed' with superficial fame, or other humans as much as the average person. Methinks that s the HOW behind his brand of GENIUS. His debut records, his concerts, his more recent Euro/Italian work, has impressed me as maestro scale musicianship. Simple as that. Glad uve shared ur 1st engagement with the Legend of TTD with us grateful, mortal fans. 🥰

He was pissed that he and STAX where getting ripped off by the music of TTD...i called bullshit and said it was introducing STAX to those of us unfamiliar with that history. I reminded him that imitation was the greatest form of flattery and respect. He did not buy it, but i stood my ground,thankfully, now. Great interview and thank you, Sananda!

      In Zürich he played before a 1000 People who came just for him.
      I do not want to miss both of the very different Concerts.
      Singing was great at both Concerts.

    OMG, so this interview is really happening. Been digging in Craig David's musical crates lately and seeing how much Sananda Maitreya influenced his desire to do music for a living in the beginning and always acknowledging him in interviews is Amazing. Can't wait to watch this interview as Sananda Maitreya's live shows has been popping up in my feeds these last few months and remembering buying his 1st album in Junior High school as we had to learn a dance piece for dance class. Glad to See and Hear and Celebrate Sananda Maitreya 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🌷🌷🌷🌷.

    I'm fascinated by these glimpses behind the curtains during the transformation of CBS Records into Sony Music. And his numerous triangulations with the biggest recording artists, during the era of my very first musical memories.
    Dropping gems from a unique, nuanced perspective. Even the biggest cynic can learn something about the matrix as filtered through Sananda.
    Although some of it can only be decoded by music industry nerds. 😅

    What a solid well done interview. I loved This artist back in the day and lost track of him. Our Country has a habit of urging people to enter the business based on talent. I feel things changed in the early 90s when pressure became a mood killer to a lot of artists. My thing is only enter this business if you are keen on your business plan, not willing to change your art and not willing to allow others to dictate your style. Like the commenter said, that is Gansta. Artist almost always have a depth to them matched with a sense of self-awareness and the strength to stand on your plan for your path.
    Good stuff, great guy, and Quest, well he always brings what he promises.

    I'm gonna see/hear Teren... Sananda. I was 11 when "Introducing The Hardline" was out and it blow my mind. Back in the day Michael & Prince were the kings but Sananda's debut was amazing. I love "Symphony or dawn" & "Vibrator" as much I love the first album. He got the full pack; voice, dance, music, look,... and genius. I saw him 2 times in Barcelona and it was a perfect 10.
