FCM013 – The Love For Music with Brad O’Donnell

Brad O'Donnell joins us for a great interview at the Full Circle Music studios. He runs A&R at Capitol Records. He has been a part of or works with artists such as Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin, Hillsong, Amy Grant, and 2016 Grammy Winner for best contemporary album of the year, TobyMac. That's just to name a few.

In this podcast he talks about his life as a producer before taking on the role of an A&R. The similarities between them and the differences.

We also explore the workflow for established artists as well as new artists. You will also get to hear about Three Strands and other organizations he is actively a part of as well.

A continuing theme heard through this is it starts with the love for music.

Brad is the real deal and you will learn a ton from him. If you've ever wondered what it takes to work at a label and to help develop the careers of recording artists, this is an interview you don't want to miss. Also, if you wonder what it might take for you as an artist to get the attention of a label, this one is for you too.

Brad also shares the idea that “you're learning as you're going”, which will provide a lot of encouragement both to beginners and experts alike. We are always honing our craft and trying to make it work in this ever changing music industry.

We want to help you not only get in, but stay in. To this end, hosts Seth Mosley and X O'Connor will dig deep with luminaries of the music industry. These are people who have "made it" and today have very notable careers. Many are Grammy winners and work with prominent record labels. Some of our listeners might be on the creative side as a songwriter, artist, producer, or engineer. Others might be on the business side interested in marketing, management, A&R, or radio. The "Made It In Music Podcast" is designed to serve both sides; we are certain you will find a place in this community. How do you get a record deal, get a hit artist to cut your song, build fans, or get on tours? We tackle these questions and more.
