Hey guys, it's Gary Vay, Nerd Chuck, and this is the GaryVee audio experience.

Hey guys, super excited for after the app series we're doing on Wednesdays, right?

Is that right? Wednesdays to follow up the Tuesday night launch of a prior episode of Planet the Apps.

And so we've got Zane Lowe who plays host to this wonderful show.

I'm just falling in love with this guy. I think you're going to see that pretty clear in the content that you're about to listen to.

And I guess there's really nothing else to say, but that this is what my podcast would look like if I did it like everybody else and interviewed people dying for your feedback. Let me know.

Well, great. Let's get right into it. I mean, obviously I think I want to keep all the stuff from the beginning of the whole thing that I skip puberty the whole night.

So anyway, super excited Zane Lowe for the Vayner Nation that's listening right now on the podcast on the GaryVee audio experience.

Why don't you give context before we get into Planet the Apps before we get into the experience, our budding romance.

Before we get into all that, take me all the way back. Let's spend five to ten minutes here on who you are, where you came from, your narrative. What is your origin story?

That's fair. It's a fair question, you know, because I've only been in the US for a couple of years.

And my journey actually started in Auckland, New Zealand.

You know, I spent 22, 23 years there just kind of growing up. You know, music was my first passion.

You know, every kid grows up loving music. Every kid of a certain age loves to move.

But I think at some point, perhaps you're subconscious or you're harder, your soul makes a distinction and decision as to whether or not it's going to stay with you.

Yeah. And be more than just an instinctive reaction to something and actually be a passion. And music was very much a passion for me from the very early age.

And were your parents passionate about music?

Yeah, very much so. My dad's in a radio.

But not necessarily from a musical point of view. He was more into the creativity of radio. He made promos and then it ended up running radio stations and stuff.

So from business entrepreneurial standpoint?

Very much so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my dad's a business man, really. But with a creative spirit.

And my mom has always had music in the house and always really strong record collection. And my grandparents, my grandfather was very musical.
