During this engaging conversation, Chris Vos delves into many topics, offering valuable insights into maintaining creative control, safeguarding creativity, and the importance of sticking to one’s artistic vision. He emphasizes the collective success of great groups and the significance of unity over individualism. Moreover, Vos shares invaluable advice on navigating the music business landscape, advocating for kindness in negotiations and embracing diverse perspectives, while humbly acknowledging the limits of one’s knowledge.

In addition to their music, Vos discusses The Record Company’s commitment to their audience, eschewing the trappings of stardom in favor of genuine connection. The conversation even touches on societal stereotypes, bridging experiences from Florida to Los Angeles, and Vos’s personal affinity for “tractors,” a nostalgic nod to his upbringing on a farm.
