A unique opportunity to receive insights and opinions from three producers working in Ireland. Join us for this FREE in-person event, as three music producers share and discuss their work to date – featuring Daniel Fox (Gilla Band, Silverbacks, Lambrini Girls), Elaine Mai (Loah, Soulé, MayKay), and Adam Shanahan (Cable Boy, Melina Malone, Bobbi Arlo). In an ever-changing industry, innovative producers continue to make striking and distinctive work in collaboration with artists. This talk will shed light on the collaborative process between producers and songwriters, uncovering how the two work together. How do producers provide the right sonic representation for musicians? How can musicians better work with producers? How did they develop their craft and sharpen their ear? This talk and showcase of work, will present vital information for artists considering recording their music.
