What is the "It" Factor? | Randy Jackson

This week’s conversation is with Randy Jackson, a world-renowned musician, record producer, A&R executive, and founder of Unify Health Labs. You might be familiar with Randy as one of the judges of the wildly popular “American Idol” but Randy’s roots in the music industry go way back. Randy first entered the music industry in the ‘80s as a for-hire studio session bassist. His skill, easy-going personality, and never-say-die work ethic saw him appearing on stages and records with world-famous acts like Journey, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny G, Aretha Franklin, Maze, Jean-Luc Ponty, Billy Cobham, and Tracy Chapman. He soon made the transition to the production end, working first in mixing and eventually full production. The list of artists he produced include NSYNC, Whitney Houston, Céline Dion, and Fergie. So Randy gets it – he’s been fortunate to work with the best. In this conversation, we discuss the “it” factor – the common trait shared by the best musicians, entertainers and beyond. ------ Please support our partners!
