A fresh new episode of And Introducing! On it, we talk to Ryan Dusick, Maroon 5's founding drummer, about his new book Harder To Breathe: A Memoir of Making Maroon 5, Losing It All, and Finding Recovery. Ryan's story is extremely wild: an impossibly long pre-stardom grind as part of Maroon 5 leading up to their smash (sort of) debut album Songs About Jane, overwhelming "overnight" success, and a stunning reversal where a physical breakdown hindered his ability to play drums to the point of his dismissal from the band. We get into all of that, plus pop stardom's inherent body-and-brain-rattling stress, the 1990s Los Angeles music scene, being a musical athlete slash athletic musician, and much more...so have a listen! We missed you!!
Songs played:
Maroon 5 - "Harder To Breathe" (8-Bit Arcade Version)
Kara's Flowers - "Soap Disco"
Maroon 5 - "Harder to Breathe"
Maroon 5 feat. Megan Thee Stallion - "Beautiful Mistakes"
