Richard 'Rash' Hussein; Sultan of Swing

Richard 'Rash' Hussein has spent the better part of the last 20 years in Dubai helping to establish a real music industry over in the Wild East! Through his A&R stints at both EMI and Warner Middle East, not only did he amass a staggering 50 #1 records but he also helped define a blueprint for merging Arab Pop with the Western music industry.

In this week's episode, we learn a lot more about the gradual rise of the Middle Eastern Music business and what role Rash played and still plays inside it and whether there is a place for Australian artists in the region. This is a fascinating insight into a world that we, as Australians, know little about.
