  • EPS #007 - How to manage the 3 Roles of the Self-Producing Music Artist
    2025/03/03
    In this podcast episode, I discuss the three essential roles that every self-producing music artist must manage to create high-quality music from home: songwriter and arranger, performing artist, and analytical audio engineer. As a self-producing artist, you should avoid multitasking and instead focus on each role separately to maximize your potential at every stage. The songwriter and arranger role is about sparking creativity, writing lyrics, melodies, arranging instruments, and structuring the song. The performing artist role emphasizes capturing the emotional essence of your music, experimenting with recording techniques, and interpreting your songwriting. Lastly, the analytical audio engineer role involves cleaning up recordings, balancing the mix, and mastering the final sound. Key tips include setting time frames for each stage, taking breaks between roles to refresh your perspective, and staying goal-oriented. By taking notes and adjusting as you go, you can maintain consistency and avoid role-related crossovers. Understanding and managing these roles effectively will streamline your workflow, helping you produce better music and grow as an artist. Join me on this journey toward mastering self-production and creating music that truly resonates.
