"With more than 30 years in the business, Lyor has been at the forefront of the global music industry. As a founder of Def Jam records he worked with many hip hop greats including Public Enemy, Jay Z and Kanye West to name a few. I look forward to him sharing some of the unique insights he has gathered from throughout his extensive career."
