Rollo Talks About His Sister Dido

Posted on April 19, 2004 by popdirt

The producer of Faithless and ’s producer/brother Rollo spoke with Radio 1 about the differences in working with the two acts. “It’s a very different process, because the song always comes first,” Rollo said. “The song will be written on guitar or piano and only once the song is written do we produce it. So every song that ’s written can be played beautifully on the guitar. And from the song we produce the track, hopefully to bring out the song, whereas with Faithless it’s ‘here’s the music, now let’s write the song’.”
