078: Mark de Clive-Lowe

Bedroom Beethovens

Mark De Clive-Lowe was gracious enough to spend a little time with me as we dive into his 10,000 hour journey. It all starts as he was born in New Zealand to a Japanese mother and New Zealander father, and was first introduced to jazz through his father’s record collection. He rose to prominence in the early 2000s, way before jazz hybridity became a worldwide phenomenon, but alas, De Clive-Lowe was busy designing its blueprint. De Clive-Lowe showcases his breadth of skill as a producer, composer and instrumentalist as we journey through his many albums, his wins and setbacks. An artist who is as indebted to the jazz greats as much as hip hop, house, and experimental music icons, de Clive-Lowe challenges us to leave our preconceptions at the door and follow him down the path on a journey of his own discovery.
