THE WASTING TIME PODCAST

After a bit of a break we are joined by producer Zakk Cervini. Zakk has just produced and co-wrote the EP for Simple Creatures, a new band consisting of Mark Hoppus (blink-182) and Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low). He has also recently produced music for Good Charlotte, FEVER 333, Atreyu, Halsey, YUNGBLUD and many many more. We discussed his time coming up working for John Feldmann, being managed by the Madden brothers and becoming close friends with Mark and Travis of blink-182. 

Zakk has some exciting projects coming up, he also wanted us to know about the work he has done with rising pop star Poppy (he co-wrote the song X).
