The Kenny Burns Show| EP. 179: A Conversation with Teddy Riley

This week on The Kenny Burns Show, we sit down with legendary producer, songwriter, and pioneer Teddy Riley — the architect behind the sound that changed music forever.

As the creator of New Jack Swing, Teddy Riley helped redefine the intersection of R&B, hip-hop, and pop, shaping an era and influencing generations of artists that followed. In this powerful conversation, he reflects on the moments, the music, and the mindset that built a legacy still felt across the industry today.

As always, The Kenny Burns Show is delivering meaningful conversations that inform, impact and inspires to preserve culture through the voices of those who built it.
