He had an infectious smile ! Great man !

[@jaywhite1850]

If you ended up here because of the “Leave the door open” exposure he’s getting, PLEASE go back to his earlier albums Malibu and Venice. You’ll see it was ALWAYS THERE!

Thanks!

His mom paid for those braces. It was a good investment cause he does have a beautiful smile now.

[@saikoq4203]

Anderson finally mainstream!!!! People need to hear his music.💯💯💯💯💯

[@paulmakinson1965]

That guy has got pure charisma.

[@milenatc201]

He is truly talented! I wish they had touched upon how he plays several instruments, composes music, and writes lyrics. He is so versatile and I’m glad he’s getting recognition now!!

[@DimpledNatural]

Hard not to like him and his versatile music

[@anthonyzarate0827]

My English professor at Oxnard College just turned me on to this guy. Our assignment is to reflect on a “golden line” we relate to after listening to his song “Lockdown”. Thanks Paak!

[@theMad_Artist]

anderson is one of those artists that brings you into his world in the most honest way and makes you want to know him as a person. this is a rare gift. haven't seen such an empowering figure in music for some time.

[@naturalbby1722]

So likeable and charismatic!!😭🤩

[@EastCoastGal66]

He is an Amazing Singer! God sprinkled a little something special on him❤️

[@MrSB987]

Has to be my favourite artist right now frfr, So much respect ✊

[@TMorales131]

To be so successful (talented) in an industry that’s filled with ego driven and callus people, he’s refreshingly humble.

[@mac609]

Hope Anderson is as happy as his smile.

[@modifiedcontent]

The real legends, the ones that are around for decades, are usually just better, wiser, humbler people.

[@marlynnek6449]

One of the most talented human beings ever!

Anderson. Paak is such a Beautiful Soul! God bless you & your fam! You are amazing!

I did not know who Anderson paak was until silk sonic. I'm just mind blown that I never heard of him.

[@anachronismic]

It's amazing how he's as good in a stadium as a 2k sized venue

[@TheIslandBelle]

Saw him at a concert in ATL and he did the damn thing. His band was on point and it was groovy!!!

When he said ....'i was just trying to keep the peace'. I knew right there and then that i like him. All the best to you gentleman. I know you will be a great dad, husband and artist.

It takes someone like Bruno to successfully collaborate with an up and coming artist. I enjoyed their first hit together. I am glad Bruno is back, missed him. Jesus is Love

[@Thoughtsbyme-ts4jz]

He isn’t up and coming. He has won multiple Grammy awards. Check out his individual music. He is talented

[@lynnerene]

[@ShafferspeeksTS1]

One of my favorite artists truth be told, and I look forward to seeing him and meeting him even👊🏿

[@kaydeedavis3371]

I really love his music very different. He will be around for a long time!

[@thetrickisirarelyrespond5945]

The irony is that, if you get down to it, his music is only different because most artists abandoned the old sounds. Clearly AP has bars, but he is fundamentally classic live r&b/funk through and through down to the scorched pastor vocals and drums.

[@ETCNK]

What a handsome man!

[@iiiJenii]

Love him so much!

Loves me some Anderson.Paak

[@joannabmarketing]

I just saw a beer commercial with him and heard the voice over guy mentioning Anderson's difficult childhood and how he has aspired to what he's doing now. So, I decided to google him. Never saw or heard of him. Now, just watched this interview and oh boy do I like him! Seems like such a nice guy with common sense and I'm so glad they played some of his music in this interview because I loved it! Haha, I'm now a fan! Lol I'm so proud of him! I literally got goosebumps when he mentioned that Dr. Dre heard his song and called him! Whoa!! Congrats, Anderson! Wow, won a Grammy, too! Already on a 4th album and yet I never heard of him. Hmmm. Well, will definitely listen to him now that's for sure! :-)

Who else is here because of the Silk Sonic video with anderson and bruno?

[@cherylalt101]

I'm here cause I was checking out Grammy winners and I've heard his name but not his music. I was actually looking for an old blues man from Mississippi who didn't win, which makes me really sad. Now I'm going to check out what you mentioned with Silk Sonic lol. I'm glad you mentioned it.

@@cherylalt101 you'll be very surprised at anderson paak grubhub performance on KZbin as well as his group with bruno mars

[@cherylalt101]

@@nindyhunt The Bruno Mars video with Anderson .Paak and Silk Sonic was wonderful! A throwback to the 1970s when I was a teenager lol. The hair and clothes and of course the singing style was straight classic R&B soul music with a little Bruno humor thrown in. 😂 I listened 3 times right away, so thank you. I’m going to check out your next recommendation. Thanks for taking the time to tell me about it Nindy, that’s really sweet. Have a good day or night, wherever you are 😂!

[@baileysmooth97]

There's so many great artists out there that never make to the mainstream, this artist is okay and I'm a music appreciation of music artists I'm much older than many of his music reminds me all the styles from the 60s 70s and 80s nothing great just refreshing, but you have Cleo Sol she's a great artist, you're Valerie June it's fabulous she definitely is an original it's hard to say original in this day and time because as one would say there's nothing you underneath the Sun but once you hear her totally distinct
