Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

Euge Groove: What advice for new artists? Oh my goodness. I think diversity at first until you figure out exactly the path that you want to go down. When doors open, just be ready for them to open. I think one thing that I learned in music school is that if you’re being hired for a gig as a player, it’s a given that you can play. They already assume that you can musically do the part, but can you show up on time and do it professionally is the big thing. Once you do that, you’re going to meet other people and doors will definitely open up, just be ready when the doors open.

MR: And who the heck opened your doors, mister?

EG: I had one door after another. They haven’t stopped, fortunately. I went to school in Miami, I started playing in clubs down there, I hooked up with a DJ that saw me play in the club, this guy Lewis Martineé. He hired me to play on an album for this vocal group that was coming out, Exposé. I didn’t know who they were, but the next thing you know, it was one of Clive Davis’ number one girls acts and it was at the top of the chart.
