About this listen

Hi my friends,

Hope you’re having a good one.

STEPPENWOLF have always been one of my very favourite bands so nailing JOHN KAY for an interview was something of a coup. He speaks to the media very rarely these days and when he does, it’s usually about his charitable foundation - https://mauekay.org/

After months of hounding him, the founder and lead singer of the 60's Canadian American rock band, finally agreed to chat with me.

He delves deep into his past with personal stories about his treacherous escape from war-torn Europe. He tells us about his early days in Canada, how he initially formed the band and how he stumbled upon the name from a book by German author Herman Hesse.

He talks about Steppenwolf's amazing rise to success.

John also shares tales about how living the life of the rock star with all the crazy excesses nearly killed him.

He fondly recounts the time recently when he was invited back to a little town in Germany to share the stage with the ghost of Johan Sebastian Bach.

Today, John Kay is also incredibly proud of his personal evolution that's seen him transform from ‘Rock God’ into Wildlife Warrior. He tells us all about the places he's seen and how his work has been able to help both humans and animals in need.

It's fascinating stuff.
