Not every budding producer has the fortune of interning for Rick Rubin. 🕶 But then again, not just anyone will cold email people listed in the credits of their favorite albums asking to connect. Clearly, the effort paid off for Rob Bisel, proving that hard work, authenticity, and providing value to others pay off. Recently recognized by Music Business Worldwide (MBW) as one of the World’s Greatest Producers, Bisel has been nominated for multiple Grammy awards and worked with SZA, Kendrick Lamar, Doja Cat, and countless others. Here are 6 lessons anyone in the music industry — not just producers — can take from his recent MBW interview: 1️⃣ Be yourself, no matter who is in the room. Don’t feel like you have to try and impress people. Early on, he saw how Rick Rubin just being himself had a disarming effect in the studio, setting the tone for artists to be themselves with him and to feel comfortable trying new things. 2️⃣ Work hard, but be patient. While Rob says he doesn’t see many successful producers who don’t have an “insane work ethic,” you also have to be ok with the fact that not every session is going to be super productive or yield something great. 3️⃣ Enjoy the ride. It’s easy to feel like you need to keep moving from one accomplishment to the next, but taking the time to appreciate the experience and what goes into it will make it much more enjoyable. 4️⃣ If someone has an idea, try it. Often that “super dumb” idea turns out to be the stroke of brilliance that makes the song, but you won’t know unless you give it a chance. Shooting down ideas out of hand just tends to make everyone second guess themselves, and that's never conducive to creativity. 5️⃣ Seek new sources of inspiration. Sometimes great ideas just come to you, but often you have to go looking. Constantly challenge yourself to find new directions, ideas, and sounds — to look for inspiration in other music but also non-musical mediums (like interviews with founders). 6️⃣ Find ways to be of value. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your career, having a good attitude and working hard to be of value and service to others in whatever way you can will pay off. Rob's story is a reminder that in the music industry, as in life, the most profound successes come from a blend of passion, perseverance, and openness. 👇Read the full interview, sponsored by Hipgnosis Song Management👇 https://lnkd.in/g9nnGjJg #MusicIndustry #ProfessionalGrowth #Creativity #MusicProduction

Crafting the perfect soundtrack for seven Super Bowl ads in a single year is no easy feat. 🎵🏈 For Kelly Bayett and her team at Barking Owl Sound, such a monumental achievement is more than just a showcase of their talent. It's a testament to forging strong relationships and always keeping things interesting. In her conversation with Billboard, Kelly shared some of the keys to their success. Here are 4 lessons from their journey: 1️⃣ Never take your eyes off the big picture. Achieving lasting success means planning for the long term rather than taking the fast and easy route. 2️⃣ Cultivate deep relationships. Strong, trust-based relationships are key to getting your foot in the door. 3️⃣ Innovate relentlessly. Keeping your work fresh isn't just about staying relevant; it's about continually challenging yourself. 4️⃣ Empower through support. When a team feels genuinely supported, their creative potential knows no bounds. Barking Owl Sound's journey from a home-based startup to a powerhouse in music and sound design is a powerful reminder that the roots of success are often found in the values we uphold and the relationships we cherish. 🌟 👇 You can find the full interview here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/g6uFyxST #MusicIndustry #CreativeLeadership #SuperBowlAds #LongTermSuccess

Thank you so much to Phillip Ingram for showing Artist Growth Workspace a little ❤️! If you don’t know Phillip by name, you have no doubt heard some of his work. Not only has he sold more than 8 million records as a member of SWITCH; as a singer and songwriter, Phillip has worked with many of the biggest names in music. 🎤 And as if that's not enough, he's even lent his voice to some of the most iconic film soundtracks of all time. 🎥 A longtime fan, Phillip loves how easy it is to keep organized with Workspace, saying: "I use Workspace for any and all recording sessions that I do, as well as any of the live performances. I use the calendar feature a lot, and what I love is the fact that you can put in where you're going to record or perform and, with the tie-in to Google, the addresses come up. "But also you can add so much more: Deal information, marketing notes, production notes, schedule, guest list, contacts, finances, and attach files. Anything that's tied into that recording session and/or performance is right there at the click of a button, as well as being able to export that into an itinerary." Wow! Thanks, Phillip. 👇 Check out some of his amazing work below! https://bit.ly/3OKhD6l #artistgrowth #testimonials #artistgrowthworkspace #artistmanagement
