Will Yip & Mannequin Pussy join host Raina Douris
“Philly is the center of indie rock music”. That’s a direct quote from Grammy winning producer Will Yip, who recently opened a brand new recording studio in South Philadelphia. He shares the story of how he fell in love with producing, how he went from making records in his parent’s basement to winning Grammys, and he explains why Philly is the place to be – for our Sense of Place: Philadelphia series.
