“If it’s something worth saying, it comes out of me.” – G. Love Photo: Instagram
Garrett Dutton, best known as G. Love, is a blues and hip-hop musician. I met G about 10 years ago in Nosara, Costa Rica, where I live and he surfs regularly. Through the years of driving up the coast to surf ,Garrett would inspire and entertain with incredible stories of his music career. It was on one of those trips that I thought it would be amazing to record these conversations.
What impresses me about Garrett is that after achieving so much in the music industry (creating a genre of music mixing blues and hip-hop, maintaining a 25-year career, and amassing a massive global following), he continues to be passionate about music and committed to producing the highest quality shows and albums.
He discusses his passion and practice at length, offering some insightful gems in the process like, “Anything that you’re absorbing spiritually, mentally, physically is going to come out of you,” and “If it’s something worth saying, it comes out of me.” In this discussion, we cover everything from how his creative process has changed through the years to what surfing means to him.
