Who am I?

Pusha T, born Terrence LeVarr Thornton on May 13, 1977, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record executive known for his sharp lyricism, distinctive voice, and gritty storytelling. Raised in Virginia Beach, Pusha T initially gained recognition as one half of the hip-hop duo Clipse, alongside his brother Gene Thornton, also known as No Malice. With production from The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo), Clipse became known for hits like “Grindin’” and “When the Last Time.” I chose podcast music because I’ve always been passionate about the role sound plays in storytelling. Growing up, music was central in shaping my emotions, whether it was through movies, radio shows, or songs I loved. Over time, I began to appreciate how the right sound or melody could amplify narratives in podcasts, creating deeper connections with the audience. My experience working with audio projects and collaborating with songwriters like Allen has helped me hone my understanding of how music supports different formats, especially storytelling. I’ve also explored sound design, curating tracks that capture specific moods, and this hands-on experience has given me a unique perspective on how music can make or break a podcast episode. Ultimately, I’m drawn to the challenge of crafting the perfect soundscape for each podcast, knowing that music has the power to turn a simple conversation into an immersive experience for listeners.

1. Music and the Brain

Why this podcast?

I chose the *Music and the Brain* podcast because it explores the fascinating connection between music and neuroscience. It dives into how music affects memory, emotion, learning, and even mental health, which is incredibly intriguing. The podcast offers insights from researchers, musicians, and psychologists, making complex scientific concepts easy to understand. Since music plays a vital role in emotional expression and cognitive development, learning about its deeper impact on the brain feels both enlightening and relevant. It aligns with my interest in how art, especially music, influences our thoughts, creativity, and well-being.
