Interview: Danny Bedrosian

Mr. Christopher and Jeff Paige of Funkatopia Live sit down with Parliament Funkadelic keyboardist Danny Bedrosian. They find out some amazing details of his already storied career that had him fulfilling his destiny before he was even 20 years old.

At 11, he set his sites on Parliament Funkadelic and decided that he was going to play with that band. He became obsessed with George Clinton and his uncanny ability to make music that has stood the test of time longer than any other pop artist that has ever walked the planet.

Listen in as Bedrosian shares what its like to be on George Clinton‘s payroll for 20 years, touring with the P-Funk collective, playing an entire show while Prince stood over him, performing a private show for Vladamir Putin, doing a literal 5-minute concert and a 9+ hour one, playing in 13 bands at one time, writing the Parliament Funkadelic canon, supporting Armenians in Syria trapped in war, and so much more.

It’s a story steeped in history and most of all, funk.
