Producer Michael Uzowuru interviewed for ‘i-D’ magazine

Michael Uzowuru has production credits on both Blonde and Endless. He was behind the boards for “RAF” and “Chanel.” He’s worked on many of Frank Ocean’s most recent releases, but he rarely does interviews.

From i-D:

You go to the studio with other artists and you have to make them better. You go to the studio with Frank and no one wants Frank to be better than Frank does.

This is a really interesting piece. Uzowuru recently worked with Rex Orange County as well.
