Episode 141 - The Role a Producer Plays in an Artist’s Journey with Tyler Spicer
Artists work with many different individuals while chasing their dreams, and a producer is one of the most valuable members of the team. I’m delighted to welcome Tyler Spicer onto the show to chat all about the role a producer plays in an artist’s journey. The quote for this episode is by Hannes Bieger: “Every track starts with a single, strong idea.” Tyler and I talk about the creativity and imagination required for music production, having a strong idea and clear vision for a song, a producer blending their approach with the artist’s vision and preferences, the importance of a producer having an eclectic taste in music, leaning into genre expectations and commercial appeal while also bringing a fresh perspective, the remote production process, having strong communication, making sure the song is going in the right direction, creating a comfortable environment for the artist, the importance of a producer being flexible, taking a unique approach to each artist’s music, overcoming challenges, and so much more. It was a joy having Tyler on the show, so I hope our conversation gives you a glimpse into a producer’s role. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode?
