Logocentrifugal 88 - Az "All I know about life I learned from 1980's issues of Vogue Magazine" Samad

Az Samad is a fascinating character.

Son of one of Malaysia's artist laureates and a journalist, he was brought up in a home that would be atypical anywhere, but especially in a culture which values a "sensible" career path typically embodied in engineering and the sciences.

As was instead encouraged to pursue a life of artistic expression and going with the flow of his fascination. After picking up a guitar around the age of 16, he quickly stepped onto a path that would lead him all around the world, learning and playing music across continents and cultures.

His heart and soul shine through in a big way in this episode, and it was a great pleasure to have this conversation with the man. We talked about his upbringing and education, his perspective on artistic creation, the values that have shaped his outlook and the unique blend of cultural and educational elements that have shaped his musical stylings.

He also played a bit of music on his guitar, and that's a unique spin on the episode.

All in all, what was revealed during the course of this episode was a highly intelligent, life-loving and thoughtful man sharing of his essence and the lesson learned after more than 20 years pursuing his passions.
