Episode 4 - Evan Bogart (Helped Sign Eminem)

As the son of a famed music executive who signed KISS and Donna Summer in the 70s, Evan Bogart was set on his own music path in his teens. He got an internship at Interscope and helped bring Eminem to the label after seeing him at the Rap Olympics in 1997. Until now, it's unclear why credit for Em's signing went to Evan's former colleague Dean Geistlinger, so I sat down for a chat to learn about what really happened and who really did what. We also talked about his career as a songwriter that worked with Rihanna, Beyonce, Lizzo and others.
