Flea Announces New Podcast, “This Little Light”
Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea has announced he’s launching a new podcast. “This Little Light” will be a 15-part series that will see the funk rock icon interviewing fellow artists about their early musical journeys, including teachers and influences that shaped their creativity and careers.
Flea has a special interest in musical beginnings.
“I wanted to do ‘This Little Light’ to benefit my music school, the Silverlake Conservatory of Music,” he states. “The idea behind it being music education, falling in love with music, and embarking on a musical journey for your life. Everybody’s path is so different, and it’s fascinating to learn how every musician came to music and developed their study of it over time.”
As such, the non-profit Silverlake Conservatory will receive a portion of the proceeds from the show. Flea’s guest list includes Rick Rubin, Patti Smith, Thundercat, Margo Price, Cynthia Erivo, and more.
“This Little Light” will premier on March 30th, just one day after the Red Hot Chili Peppers kick off their 2023 world tour.
