Inside the Music Industry with Shane Drake | EP. 258

In Episode 258, I welcome back Shane Drake, an award-winning director and filmmaker who has worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, and Panic! at the Disco. His work has earned major industry recognition, including an MTV Video Music Award and multiple country music awards. This time, Shane isn't joining me to talk about directing music videos. He's here to talk about his new five-part documentary series, Shane Drake Presents: Before The World Paused.Shot entirely on an iPhone, the series gives viewers an incredibly intimate, behind-the-scenes look at musicians on the road just before the world shut down. From tour buses and backstage rooms to airports, ferries, green rooms, and quiet conversations, Shane captured a side of the music industry that most fans never get to see.We talk about music video production, documentary filmmaking, touring, the music industry, social media, creativity, and what it was like capturing this moment in time without knowing just how significant it would become.It's a conversation about music, filmmaking, nostalgia, and one of the most unusual moments in recent music history.
