CHAPTER 5, CRAFT AND EXPRESSION WITH DJ, PRODUCER, SONGWRITER, MARK RONSON - Questlove and Mark Ronson delve into issues around finding your voice as a craftsperson and an artist, referencing Mark’s early days as a DJ, his breakout work with Amy Winehouse and his collaboration with Bruno Mars. Episode includes an interview with composer and musician, Kris Bowers (who has created scores for Bridgerton, King Richard, Kobe Bryant’s Muse and Madden NFL).
Quest for Craft is a partnership between Questlove and The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky, crafted by a family-owned distillery with 130+ years of experience. Located in Dufftown, Scotland, The Balvenie is the rare global whisky maker that continues to farm and malt barley on-site, maintain its own cooperage and employ its own coppersmiths. Known for both excellence and innovation, The Balvenie is credited with pioneering the technique of cask-finishing that has become key to creative expression in whisky.
As part of their continued partnership and shared mission to uncover the beautiful convergence of craft and creativity, The Balvenie and 6-Time GRAMMY Award Winning musician, Academy Award-winning filmmaker, producer, DJ, director, culinary entrepreneur and New York Times best-selling author Questlove have returned with a second season of their award-winning digital series, Quest for Craft.
Quest for Craft explores the obsessive, never-ending journey to craft the extraordinary through conversations with compelling cultural creators that pour their hearts into their own craft. Now in its second season, the series continues to peel back the curtain through new perspectives, unveiling the uniquely human attributes and deep intrinsic values that elevate something from great to exceptional. With insight from some of the world’s most creative minds, the series uncovers the nuances integral to the creative process through their own pursuit of craft across music, dance, writing, comedy and the whisky-making process.
