In this episode of Dear 21-Year-Old Me, with guest John Bucchino

  • We go back in time to 1972 when our guest, John Bucchino, turned 21, and look at his trip back to the East Coast from California.

  • John reflects on his earliest musical influences and how he began songwriting.

  • We talk about how John's composing evolved, and the importance of humility and being true to himself.

  • John reflects on a critical lesson with an executive and what led to a key track in a Disney movie.

  • John talks about having to let go, the creative process, and being the best you can be. 

  • John reflects on the array of people he's worked with, and having to learn how to collaborate.

  • We ask John what he'd say to his 21-year-old self, and what John at 21 would say to himself now.
