I've been advised to ask you to subscribe, follow, and like this podcast so that I can reach as many artists as possible, so please take a second and do that, you'll be  joining the ranks of the awesome people. Something I hear over and over in my interviews is ‘You can do it', as long as you're willing to work hard.

You see Matthew and Liz are partners in business in the band and in life. They've made some very smart decisions in their career which has led them to having financial security as well as artistic freedom.I think you'll really enjoy this interview  it's just so nice to see a band that's doing so well, has no ego issues, and love each other as much as they love music. sikoraband.cominstagram.com/sikoraband @sikorabandYouTube.com/SikorabandVisit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : gigwithmikeredman@gmail.comThanks for listening !Mike Redman

Send us a Text Message.Hi everybody, welcome to GIG I'm your host Mike Redman. Please subscribe, follow, and like this podcast so that I can reach as many artists as possible.Thank you , Mike Redmanelenamaro.comThe ratio of successful female composers to male composers is approximately four to one. I'm not sure why that is because if you listen to the music that they create Trailers,Straight ahead film scores, action, drama, you name it the only difference is creativity and style … which is not gender specific.AND if a score requires great sensitivity, female composers at least in my opinion win hands-down. Elena Mary is an extraordinary composer and her energy and dedication should be an inspiration to anyone considering this field of work and a career as a Music Composer. Interestingly enough, Elena Maro is  also married  Marco Antonini  another rising star composer on the Hollywood music scene. This was a delightful interview and as always, there are  some great takeaways.  Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : gigwithmikeredman@gmail.comThanks for listening !Mike Redman

I don't actually watch a lot of TV but I do love an entertaining , well written and produced show. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon White Lotus but it would be one of my top picks for a  ‘must see', they take chances.  It has smart humor, and more over some of the most original, accessible, and inviting music on television. The composer behind the score is Chilean-Canadian film  composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer or as I have come to know him ‘Christo' Christo is not what you think of as a typical film composer… what I mean is that he is an experimenter, creating sounds from nothing , combining textures, defining rhythms and finally happily marrying them to picture doing more than creating an ambiance.  Christo's music helps to define the scene or cue, it helps to breathe life into it.Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : gigwithmikeredman@gmail.comThanks for listening !Mike Redman

I had a casual conversation with legend Josh Rabinowitz, who Fast Company  called the new music mogul  the Cannes Music Jury calls, a musical genius.As many of you know, I made a great living, writing music, primarily for advertising, because that's where the real money was at the time. What you don't know is that I spent several of those years trying to get the attention of Josh. At Grey Advertising he was a legend, untouchable, probably because his time was in such high demand . He's well-connected and he's an expert in his field working with the who's who in the music industry and from what I hear a great trombone player.Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : gigwithmikeredman@gmail.comThanks for listening !Mike Redman
