Many people ask “What is a music producer & why do I need one?”. Good question.
Here are some of the things you can expect a good music producer to do;

• Help the artist/composer/lyricist choose material for a project
• Help the composer/lyricist crystallize his/her song form
• Help the artist/composer choose the best musical setting for a song
• Help the artist/composer find the right feel & tempo for the song
• Help the artist/composer pick instruments/musicians for the instrumental/vocal backing
• Compose and or play all the parts (the arrangement) which make up the instrumental/vocal backing
• Help the artist/composer to get the best recorded performance of the song
• Act as a primary or secondary “pair of ears” in all musical decisions
• Assist the artist/composer in finding avenues for the distribution of the finished product
• Inform the new artist/composer what the necessary next steps are towards a broader career in music
• Make good coffee/tea
• Have an easy going, yet clear & determined personality
• Be a great listener
