Davis, who is called a titan in the music industry and “the man with the golden ear”, discovered artists from Joplin to Springsteen, to Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys.

On April 14, this outspoken duo will exchange stories and opinions on everything from relationships to religion to the early days of their careers.

The Iconoclasts series pairs two leading creative innovators from different fields including film, sports, architecture, fashion, food, music, and business.

Each pair provides viewers with an inside glimpse into the inspiration and motivation that made them who they are today and offers insight into the real people behind the public personae.
