Desmond Child Discusses Career at Grammy Museum

Desmond Child Discusses Career at Grammy Museum: Desmond Child’s name is one that recalls a time, pre the downloading and streaming age, when you’d buy an album and set aside some time for it. You’d open up the sleeve notes, whether that be the vinyl inner sleeve or the CD booklet or the fold-out cassette cover, lie back and read it all while you listened.

He’s not a nostalgic figure; the man, as we were told at the Grammy Museum on Thursday evening, always has about ten projects on the go.
