In this episode of The Call Log, Warner Bailey chats with Grammy-winning songwriter and executive Evan "Kidd" Bogart from his studio about his wildly unpredictable path through the music industry. From his Beastie Boys lip-sync days to writing hits like Rihanna’s “SOS” and Beyoncé’s “Halo,” Evan reflects on early success, burnout, and the power of second chances. He opens up about falling from industry highs to rock bottom, finding sobriety, and rebuilding his career—starting again as an assistant. With raw honesty and humor, Evan shares why asking for help changed everything, how he almost missed his biggest opportunities, and why staying open to the universe’s plan is his ultimate creative fuel.
