Every show on The Riff, we ask our highly accomplished guests the same question… “How does an artist go from being “good” to being “great”?”. We call this question “The Creative Thread”. Their answers are never the same, but they all reveal what they personally feel is the key elements that allow skill, experience, and personality lock in and create something bigger.
This chart is a snapshot of how they answered.
