You don’t have to like the trends…
But you DO have to understand them– because the music industry is constantly changing, and if you can’t stay on top of the trends, then your clients will have no choice but to work with someone who DOES!
Here’s the truth: your long-term success as a producer depends on your ability to reinvent yourself, to stay relevant no matter which way the wind is blowing. And that starts by being curious and open-minded, always searching out what’s new and (even if you don’t like it at first) understanding why people love it.
So make it a habit to take a big step outside of your comfort zone, and if you don’t get it, figure it out FAST!
