Joining me today is Bob Knight.
Bob Knight is a prolific London-based session drummer, musical director, and "fixer" who has worked with some of the biggest names in the international music scene for over two decades.
Bob Knight - Session Drummer.
A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music's jazz performance course, Knight is widely recognized for his versatility across live performances, studio recordings, and television shows. His extensive list of high-profile collaborations includes:
Pop & Soul: CeeLo Green, Jason Derulo, Nicole Scherzinger, and Rita Ora.
Rock & Folk: The Pogues, James Taylor, and Nik Kershaw.
Jazz & Standards: Alison Moyet and Rumer.
Musical Directing and "Fixing" In addition to playing drums, Knight is the founder and director of BEK Music, a agency that supplies musicians for major recording projects, tours, and TV/radio promotions. He often serves as a Musical Director (MD) and a "fixer"—a person responsible for sourcing and managing the right musicians for specific high-level gigs.
Huge thanks to Bob for giving us a fascinating insight to his crazy busy career (at least a part of it, we can talk about his role as "fixer" next time.)
