Questlove will be getting his own radio show on Pandora and will also act as the streaming service's first ambassador. Questlove Supreme is going to be a three-hour, weekly show hosted, produced, and curated by The Roots drummer. The show will debut on September 7 at 1 PM EST. Maya Rudolph and Kimbra are among his initial guests.
He will also take on the roles of Artist Ambassador and Strategic Advisor. According to a press release this means he will aid the company in “artist initiatives and music product strategy.”
Tim Westergren, founder and CEO of Pandora, had this to say about his new ambassador and radio personality via press release,
"Questlove is one of the most talented and influential artists of our time. His near encyclopedic knowledge of the theory and history of music and his abiding passion for supporting artists of all kinds is a perfect match for our mission. We're thrilled to have his expertise and counsel, and to share his talents, insights and love of music with our over 78 million listeners."
This comes after news that Pandora is planning to offer monthly, paid on-demand music to go along with their free radio.
