Rufus opens up about producing his own music, writing songs with his father Dominic Miller (our previous guest), and the surreal moment of playing with Sting — a childhood dream turned reality. He also reveals why yoga, meditation, and metal all play a role in his creative life. From the roots of his songwriting to growing up with a dad always on the road, this episode dives deep into identity, legacy, and carving your own path. 

You’ll also hear about Rufus’s favorite collaborations, the guitar advice he got from Sting, and why some of the most successful artists carry hidden scars. To top it off — he performs a stunning acoustic set, just for dopeYEAH Talk. If you loved our episode with Dominic Miller, this is the perfect follow-up. Tune in, get inspired, and feel the music.
