After taking a step back from performing for nearly three years, Chicago-based producer, audio engineer and musician Ro Marsalis performed at Vocalo’s last Chi Sounds Like Showcase of 2022 on Dec. 14… but first, he stopped by the Vocalo studios to catch up with Bekoe during the Windy City Hour. The two broke down when Ro discovered his love for music production, staying dedicated to pursuing creative development and his mental health journey. (Content warning: discussion of suicide.)
This interview was conducted and produced by Bekoe. It originally aired on The Windy City Hour on Wednesday, Dec. 14. Follow Ro Marsalis on Instagram @romarsalis.
