I recently sat down with my long-time friend and fellow creative, Zach Carr, to hear his story. It’s powerful listening to a young artist open up about discovering who they are.

In just 30 minutes, we covered a ton of valuab...

With the same energy he began with, the support of those who believe in him, and the freedo...

Chuck truly inspired me in the short time we had to sit and talk. As he shared his life journey, we explored his career as an interior designer, his love life, and what it was like being a gay man through the AIDS epidemic of the ’80s and ’90s. Music has been a constant thread throughout it all — from his days as a DJ to now, when he creates high-end audio cables that deliver the best possible sou...
