In Episode 18 of The Brainwave Podcast, host Gail Hulnick talks with bass player Ivan Bodley (aka Funkboy) about his career as a musician, songwriter, producer, music director, and working-class rock star. Ivan has performed with Sting, Sam Moore, Gloria Gaynor, Martha Reeves, and 50 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. In the interview, we talk about the inspiration for one of his latest songs, "Crabwalk," about working on music remotely after Covid shut down live performances and in-person songwriting sessions, and about the day-to-day life of the professional musician.
Ivan hosts a podcast called "Am I Famous Yet?"

This is a great conversation with my new pal Greg Potters at the AlbumReview.Net podcast. Greg says: "In this episode, Ivan and I will talk about his life as a professional musician on the road and in the studio as portrayed in his book. With a career that has taken him to more than 29 countries playing to audiences of up to 82,000 people, it is no wonder that Ivan “Funkboy” Bodley is truly a working-class rock star."
