Hello there!
I am Pablo Held (Opens in a new window), pianist, composer from Cologne, Germany.
Back in the summer of 2018 I started interviewing my musical heroes and peers, giving birth to the critically acclaimed interview series Pablo Held Investigates (Opens in a new window).
My conversation with the legendary Wayne Shorter (Opens in a new window) was the one that got the whole thing started. Since then I spoke with distinguished artists like John Scofield (Opens in a new window), Bill Stewart (Opens in a new window), Ben Monder (Opens in a new window), Joey Baron (Opens in a new window), Chris Potter (Opens in a new window), Norma Winstone (Opens in a new window), Dave Longstreth (Opens in a new window), Gabriel Kahane (Opens in a new window), Larry Goldings (Opens in a new window) and many more.
Without a doubt this is one of the biggest learning experiences of my life. It brings me great joy to see that people from all over the world have found meaningful insights in these conversations. I feel that sharing a learning-experience has the power to unite people from various backgrounds.
Producing, editing and promoting these interviews takes up a lot of time and energy besides my extensive touring schedule (Opens in a new window), teaching duties and time with my family. This is why I hope that you'll consider becoming a member to help me keep this project* going for a long time!
Thank you in advance for your support!
Pablo Held
*The interview series will always be available for free, promise!
