Up in Your Business with Kerry McCoy

My guest today on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy is the renowned trumpeter, musician and performer, Mr. Rodney Block. If you live in Little Rock, or close by, then chances are you may have had the pleasure of hearing this gifted musician blow his horn, all while slipping in some of his encouraging and uplifting words about humanity and compassion for all peoples. This Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas, Arkansas has performed pop, jazz, hip hop, Latin, and even country music with legends like Earth, Wind and Fire, Bobby Brown, the Jazz royalty Ellis Marsalis, soul singer Lalah Hathaway, and the great R&B artists Johnny Gill, Eric Benet and Joe. And Rodney often plays with legendary hip-hop artist Doug E. Fresh. Listen to learn about the business of music, how Rodney has made a living in the music industry, how he came to perform on national and international stages, and why his greatest role models are still his mom and dad.
