Riley shares personal anecdotes from his upbringing in Harlem and his journey as a music producer, emphasizing the significance of spending time on music to create lasting impact.
Robyn Curnow asked him what was it like working with Michael Jackson and Teddy tells her that working with Michael was like working with your best friend.
He said, ‘you're sleeping at the studio?
I'm sleeping at the studio.’
I said, ‘but you don't sleep at studios….
you can go home.’
He said, ‘no, you're on this project 24 —
I’m on it 24.’”
