D Madness doesn’t just play music — he channels it.
From Kill Tony to C-Boy’s every Tuesday, to writing music without ever seeing it, this episode dives into how he and Ter’ell Shahid create live, improvised music like it’s breathing.
We talk creating without rules, what it’s like becoming recognizably famous overnight, taking 15 photos in Buda on a random night, and why D still laughs about never being able to see any of the pictures anyway.
If you love soul, jazz, Austin music, or watching musicians build something in real time — this one hits deep.
