Bret Epic Creates Classics | Producing BBD’s Groove to Rapping on Crazy Town’s "Butterfly"

Shawn Stockman's On That Note

From the studio grind to global hits, Bret Epic has lived every side of the music game. He opens up about his roots in production, connections with New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe, and the beat-making sessions that taught him how to shape sound.

Bret shares the story behind Crazy Town’s crossover smash “Butterfly”, the surprising spark from Will.i.am that helped push it forward, and how years of mixing, producing, and collaborating across genres made him a true studio architect.

This episode dives into the craft of production, the rap-rock crossover era, and the behind-the-scenes work that changed the sound of the late 90s and early 2000s. From hip-hop lineage to pop culture milestones, Bret breaks down how he shifted genres and left a mark on music history.
