This morning Dylan is interviewing Grammy nominated platinum producer YNG Josh. He has worked on the latest Ariana Grande album Positions, the Grammy nominated Nipsey Hussle album Victory Lap, YNW Melly and more. In this interview we talked about how YNG Josh’s studio engineering in Houston helped his career when he moved to LA, how working in many songwriting sessions and working with a PR agent led to major placements, and how getting his business right, surrounding himself with the right people, and working relentlessly made him reach new successes in his career.
