In Conversation: Nabil Ayers, author of “My Life In The Sunshine”

When Nabil Ayers set out to write his memoir he could have focused on a long list of personal and professional accomplishments. He’s been a drummer in bands on major labels. He opened and ran a record store in Seattle that is known and revered worldwide. He has had his writing published in the New York Times, NPR and more. He has run a division (4AD) of one of the world's most revered indie record labels (Beggars Group) and currently is the president of that label’s U.S. operations.

Exploring any one of those journeys could have been enough to fill a book, but instead he focused on something unexpected: His relationship with his father, jazz great Roy Ayers.

“My Life In The Sunshine” tells the story of Ayers reconciling his complicated relationship with a father who was, by design, absent from his life. Ayers’ often complicated journey to acceptance (both of his father, and himself) is a compassionate look at what family means, and, more importantly, what it CAN mean, in the world today.

Join us as we sit down with Nabil to talk about his journey, the impact of “My Life In The Sunshine” on others, and more.
