• 87. Daya: From High School to GRAMMY Winner, Making the Chainsmokers Hit, Owning Her Masters, New Music

  Episode 87: Daya At 16 years old, still in high school, Daya dropped “Hide Away” with no label, no team, no social following. Just a song she believed in. It exploded, racked up hundreds of millions of streams, and suddenly she was on the radio while still in class. She followed it with “Sit Still, Look Pretty,” then connected with The Chainsmokers to record “Don’t Let Me Down,” one of the biggest hits of the 2010s. We talk about how that collaboration came to be, what it was like for her life to flip so fast, and what it felt like to win a GRAMMY at just 18. We also get into how she built her team, what she learned from the major label system, and how she eventually got her masters back. She explains the move to go independent, what that freedom means to her, and how she’s evolved as both an artist and a person over the past decade. Now she’s stepping into a brand new era with music like “Infrared”, “Demise”, "Bandit" and an upcoming new album "Til Every Petal Drops." exploring a darker and more electronic sound. We dive into the process behind these songs, the producers she’s been working with, and what’s next. I hope you love my conversation with the amazing, Daya! Special thanks to Apogee Electronics.

• 85. Miles Bonham (Miles Music Kid) | Young Music Prodigy and Viral Instagram Star’s Podcast Debut

  Episode 85: Miles Bonham. Known to millions online as Miles Music Kid, Miles Bonham has become one of the youngest and most talked-about musical prodigies on Instagram. His videos have gone viral around the world, showcasing his natural talent, creativity, and unique ear for music at such a young age. He is one of the most followed under-10-year-olds in the world, and already, at just 9 years old, has some of the most elite musicians and producers befriending him, supporting him, and cheering him on (shoutout to Mark Ronson, Pharrell, Zedd, Jacob Collier, Questlove, Teddy Swims and Charlie Puth). This is Miles’ podcast debut, and I wanted to mark this special moment in time with him. I had so many questions for Miles, and you can see in this interview how adorable and happy of a kid he is. His dad also joined us for this episode so we could talk about what it’s like parenting Miles, the approach he and his wife have taken, and the incredible job they are doing. This is a unique episode, since we have never had a kid on the podcast before, but I hope you find it enjoyable and take away some profound thoughts from the brilliant young mind of Miles Bonham. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano’ is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

• 84. Dave Weckl: The Drumming Legend on Chick Corea, Simon & Garfunkel, Master Plan, Career, Innovation, Legacy

  Episode 84: Dave Weckl One of the most influential drummers of all time, today’s guest is the legend, Dave Weckl. From his legendary years with Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and Akoustic Band to his groundbreaking solo debut Master Plan, to his session work with Simon & Garfunkel, Nile Rodgers, George Benson, Mike Stern, Robert Plant, Madonna, and more, his drumming has defined modern fusion and inspired generations worldwide. This is the Dave Weckl deep dive! Two and a half hours long, intimate, honest, and open. Dave shares stories about his early breaks with Nite Sprite, French Toast, and landing the Simon & Garfunkel Reunion Tour that put him on the map. We dig into his days as a first-call New York session player in the 80s, and go deep inside his years with Chick Corea, from writing records like “Got a Match?” to how the Grammy-winning Akoustic Band came together, as Dave reflects on what made Chick so special as a bandleader. We talk about his solo career beginning with Master Plan, his longtime collaborations with Jay Oliver and Mike Stern, and studying with Freddie Gruber even at the height of his career. Dave has always pushed himself to grow as a player. We discuss how he created his signature Dave Weckl Vic Firth drumsticks, his Sabian Evolution and Legacy cymbal lines, and what led him to being the first person to put holes in cymbals. We talk about the Dave Weckl Band, teaching through his online school, and the importance of making musical choices on the drums rather than just displaying technique. This episode is packed with stories, insight, advice, and inspiration from one of the greatest drummers to ever sit behind the kit. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dave Weckl.
