Why Make Music..Episode 018 - "Never Too Old To Produce"

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Why Make Music... hosted by ThinkTimm. In this episode, we dive deep into the myth that age limits creativity in music production, particularly in the hip-hop genre.Recently, I came across several discussions on YouTube that suggest being "too old" to produce music is a reality. This notion seems particularly gender-specific and unfairly targeted towards hip-hop. However, I firmly believe that this perspective is misguided. Some of the most influential and successful producers in the music industry are over the age of 40 and even 50. Many of us who grew up with hip-hop have a wealth of experience and knowledge that younger generations can benefit from.It's essential to recognize that the relationship between older and younger musicians should be collaborative rather than competitive. The traditional apprenticeship model in music, where younger artists learn from established veterans, has diminished. While it's true that younger artists often utilize technology in innovative ways that older producers may not yet embrace, there's a rich tapestry of experience and wisdom that can be shared across generations.One of the most exciting aspects of music production today is the accessibility of technology. In this episode, I discuss how affordable it has become to record high-quality music from the comfort of your home. Gone are the days when renting studio time in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s was prohibitively expensive. The democratization of music production tools has opened doors for countless artists, regardless of age.This episode serves as a rallying cry for musicians of all ages to come together. There is an abundance of music waiting to be created and shared, and no single age group should dominate the narrative. Music is a universal language that transcends age, and every musician has something valuable to contribute.Join me in this episode of Why Make Music... as we challenge the stereotypes surrounding age in music production. Let’s celebrate the diversity of experience and creativity that every musician brings to the table.
