ABOUT THE PROGRAM.
NARIP welcomes Grammy Award-winning Matt Still, Billy Hume and Bradford Rogers to discuss how to produce hit songs and develop artists to recognition and commercial success. We will also discuss the winning skills of the best producers such as emotional intelligence and n-studio psychology (how to get the best out of an artist) that create the environment in which great music can be made.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- How is great music created and produced?
- What do top music producers look for in an artist?
- How do you find, develop and keep artist clients?
- How do producers handle challenges such as creative control?
- How do producers get the best performances out of artists?
The producer’s role is vital in finding, shaping and guiding talent in the studio, and from there ultimately into the marketplace.
