Making Japan Media Great [Again] #UpgradeMe with Dana Leong 010 Michiko Zentoh

Thrilled to have #UpgradeMePod guest #MichikoZentoh, producer who helped change the face of Japanese travel and culture TV with legends like #AnthonyBourdain, #JackieChan and the #Olympics.

Follow https://www.beneroots.jp/

Is there a limit on how free a spirit can be? Are we confined between the guard rails of our parents’ genetics and their nurture? Many times when a spirit is too curious to stay within its own four walls, it ventures to other cities, to other countries, to other continents and even to other altitudes while in search of deeper understanding and connection with the world, through culture, language, food, storytelling and shared experiences. In today’s episode, I am honored to share an hour with that free spirit who has lept boundaries to become an in demand producer for on screen household names like Anthony Bourdain, Jackie Chan, the BBC and two times at the Olympic Games in Japan. This is my Upgrade Me interview with Michiko Zentoh.

#UpgradeMe with Dana Leong 009 Minami (from CREAM)

Saison 2 · Épisode 9

vendredi 7 février 2025 • Durée 01:09:45

People always ask, what is it like to work in the music industry and how do artists make a living? Can you survive from making content for YouTube? During the pandemic, that question has become much more complex. However, they still say, ‘slow and steady wins the race’. Over the past 6 years I’ve known her, I’ve watched Minami grow in every way while relentlessly releasing songs and music videos on her duo CREAM's YouTube Channel as well as going out and making it happen live on tour throughout the year. Her story is one that drives home a healthy reminder of the fundamentals of persistence and courage. Courage to go against expectations and the beyond the obligatory and at times around the seemingly very operational practices in the Japanese entertainment industry. From working with some of the biggest names in Japan’s music industry to her hilarious stories of humble beginnings, I am honored to share the #UpgradeMe story of Minami from CREAM.

#UpgradeMe with Dana Leong 008 Jordan Rudess

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

vendredi 3 janvier 2025 • Durée 01:32:02

Today, we dive deep into the world of a true virtuoso, Jordan Rudess, whose journey from being a classical pianist at Juilliard in New York to the keyboard wizard of Dream Theater is nothing short of extraordinary. Imagine a young prodigy, trained in the hallowed halls of Juilliard, choosing to abandon the predictable path to explore the uncharted realms of progressive rock. Much like an artist swapping the traditional canvas for the digital screen, Rudess embraces synthesizers and innovation, crafting soundscapes that transcend the ordinary. His story is a symphony of bold decisions and relentless pursuit of musical excellence. From his early days in the electronic space music band "Complex", to transforming into a titan of the prog-metal scene with Dream Theater, Jordan's career is a testament to the power of following one's passion. He seamlessly blends the precision of classical training with the experimental edge of rock, much like a master chef blending the most unexpected ingredients to create a culinary masterpiece. Join us as we explore the mind of a man who doesn't just play keyboards — he redefines them. We'll discuss his groundbreaking work with Liquid Tension Experiment, his ventures into software development with Wizdom Music, and his role as an educator shaping future generations of musicians. Ready yourself for a journey through realms of music innovation and creativity with the one and only Jordan Rudess. --- Welcome back to #UpgradeMe.

#UpgradeMe with Dana Leong 007 Justin Bua

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

vendredi 6 décembre 2024 • Durée 01:01:59

In a world of hustlers, bustlers and innovators, we all seek balance. Combining classical realism at the urban edge of hip-hop and street art, Justin BUA balances being a forward thinking artist while reinventing the classical brush on canvas medium through original caricatures from his colorful youth, statement pieces of pop-culture icons and his one and only globally top selling posterized painting “the DJ”. Even if you haven’t heard of him, you’ve most likely seen his work as it can be seen at The renowned Los Angeles County Museum of Art, on the TV shows he has hosted, music videos, major brand campaigns and gracing the walls in the homes of Hollywood and NBA royalty. It’s my pleasure to speak with the artist, the trailblazer, the OG, Justin BUA.

#UpgradeMe with Dana Leong 006 Cookie Marenco

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

vendredi 1 novembre 2024 • Durée 01:17:30

Follow Cookie Online: https://otrstudios.com/founder https://www.facebook.com/cookiejmarenco https://bluecoastmusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bluecoastrecords If you’ve ever traveled all the way around the world in order to meet your neighbor, or learned a valuable life lesson by taking the long route, then this is the story for you. Over the past 4 decades, hidden away in the hills of my tiny hometown in Belmont, California lies OTR Studio. It’s a full functioning ultra-high-definition recording studio that rivals any in the world. At the studio, Gold Record Selling Artists, Grammy Winning Musicians and Academy Award film companies come to work with one of the rare gurus of sound. It took me 20 years of living in New York to realize I had a world class haven at OTR Studio to record in my own home town. Some people play instruments, like how I play the cello and trombone, some find new ways to invent instruments like DJ Qbert and his turntables and some rare talents, create and play the studio itself. Cookie Marenco makes her vintage mixing board and her stacks of sound signal processing modules into her personalized instruments. Her sensitivity to sound, experience in mixing and ability to pull and produce the best performances out of many artists is akin to a concert pianist feeling the touch of the keys to bring the most precise and dynamically beautiful music into real life. There’s a reason many music legends such as saxophonist Charlie Parker’s drummer Max Roach, the pianists Brad Mehldau, Jon Jang, the late great Chick Corea and major companies like Lucas Films and Sony all come to Cookie to fine tune their recordings. I came to record the podcast interview and we ended up creating an entire album. It is my honor to learn and share in real time, the evolution of audio in the highest possible fidelity, with Cookie Marenco. If you enjoy today’s episode, don’t forget to hit the subscribe and like buttons, connect with us on IG, TiKTok and your favorite platforms to stream audio and video. We also have a Patreon page links in description, where you can subscribe to and support and receive exclusive content and merch including the album of chill out music we created at Cookie’s studio called “Sweet Sleep Meditations”.

#UpgradeMe with Dana Leong 005 George Chen

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 4 octobre 2024 • Durée 58:45

We often take certain things for granted, especially when it comes to the autonomy of how a restaurant works. If designing and running one of the biggest and busiest restaurants in the Bay Area isn’t a big enough task for you to underestimate, imagine conceptualizing and running sixteen of them. Maybe it would take someone with the business sense of a Wall Street banker, the mental fortitude of a China Town Big Boss, the connections of a million-miler doing deals from Shanghai to San Francisco and someone who sees and jumps at opportunities to improve their industry on an artistic and systematic level. I am thrilled that life brought us to this juncture where that person has agreed to sit down with us on #UpgradeMe. It’s my pleasure to share with you, my conversation with restauranteur and business mastermind, Chef George Chen.
