Innerviews - Music Without Borders

Established in 1994 by music journalist Anil Prasad, Innerviews is the Web’s first and longest-running music magazine. Innerviews delivers in-depth, uncompromising interviews that enable artists to speak at length about topics that matter to them. The magazine features a wide variety of genres and styles of music, including rock, jazz, fusion, hip-hop, world music, pop, and folk.

Prasad’s writing has also appeared in Guitar Player, Bass Player, Frets, JazzTimes, All About Jazz, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), and TVOntario (TVO). In addition, Innerviews content is used as part of the UCLA School of Music's course curriculum.

Prasad is the author of the book Innerviews: Music Without Borders. The book features exclusive interviews with 24 artists including Jon Anderson, Björk, Martin Carthy, Ani DiFranco, Béla Fleck, Jonas Hellborg, Bill Laswell, Noa, Public Enemy, David Sylvian, Tangerine Dream, David Torn, McCoy Tyner, and Joe Zawinul. In addition, Prasad is a contributor to The Fretless Bass, a book published by Bass Player.
