A brief summary of what the podcast is about!

Have you ever listened to a song and wondered the number of people involved in bringing the song to life? Have you ever heard producer/engineer tags on songs and wondered who those tags belong to? This podcast aims to bring clarity to that by shining the spotlight on the individuals involved in that process from inception to the moment you can listen to the songs on air. At the end of every episode, listeners should expect to gain more insight into the stories and professional lives of these individuals and understand the critical roles each of them play towards the success of songs and music projects. The podcast would also serve as an educational platform for music business related subjects, and as such, listeners can also expect to get little nuggets of knowledge on the business side of the music with each episode. We would also be discussing several songs and albums with our guests amongst other things. So sit back, grab a drink and prepare to go on the journey behind the cadences to discover Who Made That Song!
