On this week's episode of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and Matchbox Twenty frontman, Rob Thomas.
We dive deep into Rob’s incredible journey — from his early life growing up in the South and running away from home at 15, to becoming one of the biggest names in rock and pop music. Rob opens up about life on the road, starting Matchbox Twenty, balancing a solo career, and the real stories behind hits like "3AM" and "Smooth" with Carlos Santana.
We also explore the realities of the music business, the art of songwriting, and why staying authentic matters more than ever.
In this episode:
Rob’s early struggles and how they shaped his music
The rise of Matchbox Twenty
Collaborations with legends like Carlos Santana
The truth about songwriting, publishing, and the business side of music
Why authenticity beats chasing trends
Lessons on resilience, family, and personal growth
