Rick Rubin is one of the most influential music producers of all time — and he never learned how to play an instrument. From co-founding Def Jam in a college dorm room to reviving Johnny Cash’s career and working with legends like Linkin Park, Slayer, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rubin changed the sound of entire genres.
