Description

🎙️ What happens when Prince fights a major label to protect your art? In this powerful episode, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Judith Hill sits down with Rob Cass to unpack the highs and heartbreaks of a life lived in the shadows — and the spotlight — of musical greatness. From Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder to the deep personal connection she formed with Prince, Judith shares moments that are both inspiring and soul-shaking.Judith opens up about the traumas of her life and music career, how her guitar became her “spirit animal”, and why funk, soul, and rock’n’roll aren’t just genres — they’re lifelines. She reveals the terrifying unpredictability of performing with Stevie Wonder, the surreal experience of being cast to sing with Michael Jackson just before his death, and how Prince became her mentor, collaborator, and protector in a legal battle with Sony. “He was a crusader,” she says, describing how they went into that fight together. 🎸⚡From her breakout moment in the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom to her latest album Letters from a Black Widow (2024), Judith Hill’s voice has backed legends — and now, finally, tells her own story. If you love stories of artistry, resilience, and raw musical truth, this is the episode you can’t miss. 🔥
