SSP42 - Brad M Seippel

Recorded on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 in Beijing, China.

Brad Seippel aka thruoutin, an American-born electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist, joins the podcast today. He’s been in China for over fifteen years and now runs his own studio here in Beijing. But when he’s not helping other people record their own music, he is recording and producing his own work that he has toured the world with.

In this episode we talk a little about what it’s like to run a studio here in China, some of the highlights of the work and how it has forced Brad to grow as a musician and business owner.

Not only that, Brad is fluent in Mandarin Chinese having learned the language largely on his own using the street method after arriving in the country way back in 2008. We talk about how he managed to learn the language, some of the struggles he encountered and what kept him going.
