Summary
This week I have the uber talented Durand Bernarr on the couch. It was a pleasure to get to know him as his star is on the rise. Not only is he Erykah Badu's longtime background singer, he's an amazing R&B singer and now a DJ. We talked about his journey to stardom, new album and his skating tour. If you love good music, make sure you check out his music.
