There's something about the music business and the interview process that brings me nervous energy, but also affords me the opportunity to connect with someone in a unique and lovely way.

Today, I met Joost van der Graaf for the first time, and left our conversation approximately an hour later feeling deeply and soulfully connected.

It's an amazing experience when it happens and I hope our chat today engages you the same way.

Joost is an amazing musician and songwriter, and the creative force behind Choreomanic, the Dutch funk hybrid musical act.

The new album, set to release on February 18th, is a fun blast into the future and an homage to the many levels of cool that inspired its progressive creation.

Check out the conversation and get inspired by the man, the hype and the very real and kind human, my friend, Joost van der Graaf, on Rockstar Superhero.
