PC Muñoz is a multidimensional musician: a poet, percussionist, producer, performer and recording artist. Over the past three decades, he has worked in a wide range of music styles, from hip hop and jazz to funk, classical and spoken word. PC’s work with Kronos Quartet cellist Joan Jeanrenaud earned a Grammy nomination. He has recorded with rock legend Jackson Browne, synth wizard Dr. Fink and most recently, Berkeley Symphony violinist Matthew Szemela. PC Muñoz also serves as the director of Education and Community Engagement for the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, California.

I spoke with PC about his creative process, his continual evolution as a boundary breaking musician, and his recommendations to young people interested in cultivating an authentic artistic identity.
