Robert DeLeo is an accomplished musician and songwriter best known for his work as the bassist and co-founder of the iconic rock band Stone Temple Pilots.

In the clip below, producer / songwriter / educator Rick Beato - who also has a popular YouTube channel, Everything Music - sits down with DeLeo for a career-spanning interview.

DeLeo released his debut solo album, Lessons Learned, on October 21, 2022. Order the album here, and watch a lyric video for the single, "Love Is Not Made Of Gold" featuring Jimmy Gnecco, below.

“Lessons Learned is a very personal album for me,” DeLeo told American Songwriter. “The journey has been an interesting one. This collection of songs has been my diary through the trials of trying to find what that ever so mystical word love means.”

He added, “I have been working on this record for about three years. As time passed each song came about in its own special way. I had time to sit down and reevaluate my acoustic guitar playing, songwriting, and life. It meant a lot to take advantage of so much time that the world allowed.”
