This podcast will not only dive into the creative process (i.e. recording) and experiences from the artist perspective; but also shed light on the granular side of the industry so we can hear from the folks behind the scenes. This will include guests that are production managers, VJ & lighting gurus, artist managers, record label managers, and folks that handle everything in-between. Each episode will feature a special guest that will share their journey and insight based on their expertise.   If you are someone who just enjoys listening to music - “the casual listener”: our hope is that you’ll finish each episode with a deeper understanding and appreciation for what goes into making music and/or putting on the events you enjoy.  If you are someone currently navigating the industry; our hope is that you can listen to an episode and immediately use what you’ve heard towards reaching your artistic goals.
