Rick Rubin

Rick Rubin is one of the most legendary record producers of our time. In the 1980s he worked with the emerging hip-hop scene, producing records by the likes of LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy & Run DMC.

In the 1990s, he worked alongside Slayer, Danzig, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, AC/DC, Nine Inch Nails and even Johnny Cash.

Since then he’s worked with Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, U2, System of a Down, The Smashing Pumpkins, Eminem, Kanye West, Wu-Tang Clan, Neil Young and many, many more.

It’s just simply immense the amount of great talent he’s worked with to help them unleash some of their greatest music.

In early January of 2023, he released his book The Creative Act: A Way of Being, on which he has stated: “I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.”
