This week on The R&B Money Podcast get a glimpse into the life of Prolific Super-producer Harmony Samuels. Born with the rhythm of the universe pulsing through his Veins. He'll take us through his upbringing in England under strict parents, the celestial moment he realized his destiny as a composer, and his instinctual mastery of multiple instruments. Harmony also recounts flying 6 hours to LA for a mere 6 minutes with a music executive, feeling disrespected and fronted on — until that full circle moment when he was finally face to face with him under different circumstances; it's a reminder that in this universe, amnesia is a common affliction among mortal suits. Marvel at the stroke of brilliance that fostered his silent plot, drove him to ultimate success and augmented his Hitlist. From Maroon Five to Chris Brown to Ariana Grande, there are simply Too many W's to count, not to mention his own Tequila Brand in tow.
