Follow Biz on IG:https://www.instagram.com/jacobbizmorrisTimestamp:1:03 Building a Team vs. Handling it AllBiz emphasizes the benefits of artists building a team from the outset, highlighting that it reduces stress, allows for shared workload, and enables everyone to grow financially as the artist succeeds. He notes that while some artists can do everything themselves, it often leads to burnout.2:36 Artist Mixing Their Own MusicBiz acknowledges that some artists are capable of producing good mixes, especially when they are trying to maintain a specific vibe. However, he believes the majority of artists who mix their own music should stop, as the quality is often not up to par. He attributes this to "demo-it is," where artists become too accustomed to the sound of their self-mixed demos.3:58 Impact of Mix Quality on StreamsBiz explains that a bad mix can lead to a high skip rate on streaming platforms, meaning artists don't get paid if listeners don't make it past 30 seconds. He also points out that poor mix quality can hinder a song from being placed on playlists or accepted by influencers, as it can reflect poorly on their brand.6:26 Defining a Good MixA good mix, according to Biz, translates well across all devices (car, AirPods, Bluetooth speakers) and has no distractions, allowing the listener to fully grasp the artist's vision and emotion. A bad mix often has buried or muddy vocals, excessive reverb, or poor-sounding drums.9:20 Biz's Background and Favorite GenresBiz shares his journey, starting as a recording engineer at 14 and falling in love with mixing after moving to Atlanta in 2012. He has worked with artists like Lrae, David Kushner, and Surfaces. While a majority of his credits are in hip-hop, he enjoys mixing pop music more due to the challenge of achieving a clean, pristine sound.13:09 AI in Mixing and MasteringBiz sees AI mastering as useful for creating better-sounding demos, especially for producers and songwriters pitching songs. However, he believes AI mixing is not yet good. He recounts his past experience with an automated mixing service ("Mixed") which, while successful for some tracks, was ultimately shut down because artists preferred human engineers. He emphasizes that people seek human artists for their unique point of view and taste.allowing artists to submit notes through a dashboard.21:29 Spatial Audio Biz is a fan of Atmos, believing it makes records sound better. He highlights that Apple Music pays 10% higher royalties for songs provided in spatial audio, even if the Atmos version isn't played. He built his studio to support Atmos mixing to help independent artists "play the game" and compete with major labels that have more resources.• 27:50 Responsible AI Training and OwnershipBiz raises questions about how AI song creators acquire their data models, suggesting they might be scraping from DSPs like Spotify and YouTube. He discusses the challenge of creating an AI mixing model due to the need for vast amounts of diverse genre data, which major labels primarily own. He expresses concern that labels might create AI mixing platforms that save them money without necessarily benefiting the artist.38:48 "Too Cheap to be Good" PerceptionBiz addresses the perception that "Get Mixed" is too cheap to offer good quality. He assures that the quality, gear, setup, and studio are the same as his high-end services, but the lower price is due to the streamlined system and convenience. He also acknowledges that some artists find the price too high, leading him to offer discounts.This channel is ran by the founders of No Labels Necessary, Sean "Brandman" Taylor and Jacorey "Kohrey" Barkley.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: ritual abuse and mind control survivor, overcomer and thriver, Bob Marley's biological daughter, loving mother, content creator, serial entrepreneur, artist and visionary, writer and author, Grammy Award Winning songwriter, podcaster, educator and avid learner, sound bowl lover and healer, and a woman on a mission to blind the darkness with her light: Zara MarleyZara's early life, shrouded in the complexities of her claimed and proven Marley lineage, was marked by trauma that began in childhood. She was thrust into a sinister world of organized abuse, orchestrated by sadistic abusers embedded within the music industry and others in close proximity to her. She's experienced sadistic and satanic ritual abuse firsthand, a harrowing reality that included secret tunnels, coercive initiations, and the exploitation of vulnerable souls. These experiences, which link to high-profile figures and systemic corruption, were designed to break her spirit and silence her voice. Yet, even in the face of such darkness, Zara's inner light - a spark she attributes to her father's legacy of resilience and Rastafarian faith - refused to be extinguished.As the biological daughter of beloved reggae legend Bob Marley, Zara carries the weight of a legacy steeped in music, love, and revolution, yet her journey diverges into a darker, lesser-known path - one of survival, healing, and fearless whistleblowing. As a survivor of satanic and sadistic ritual abuse, Zara has transformed her pain into purpose, emerging as a warrior for truth, a protector of the vulnerable, and an inspiration to countless survivors. Through her upcoming book, ‘Reclaim Your Soul', and her candid interviews, she shines a searing light on the underbelly of power and corruption, all while embodying the unyielding spirit of her father's call for justice and liberation.Zara's journey to healing began when she confronted the fragmented memories of her past, a process that required immense courage and spiritual fortitude. Drawing on the principles of unity and resistance that her father championed, she embarked on a path of self-discovery, piecing together the truths of her experiences. This journey led her to author Reclaim Your Soul, a book that promises to expose the music industry's darkest secrets while offering hope and guidance to survivors and victims of abuse. Through her writing and numerous other projects aimed at helping elevate humanity, Zara transforms her trauma into a beacon of empowerment and hope, encouraging others to reclaim their agency on a soul level, and break free from the chains of oppression.As a whistleblower, Zara's voice is both profound and provocative. She has spoken candidly about her encounters with industry giants, including discussions with Sean “P Diddy” Combs, about the spiritual toll of his initiation into elite circles. Her revelations about secret tunnels and their nefarious purposes have sparked intense discussion, challenging listeners to confront uncomfortable realities about power and control. Yet, Zara's mission extends beyond exposure; she is deeply committed to helping survivors heal, offering them a lifeline through her advocacy and support.Zara's connection to her father's legacy is not just familial but spiritual. While her father's music uplifted the disenfranchised through reggae's rhythmic rebellion, Zara's activism takes aim at the systemic forces that perpetuate abuse, making her a modern-day warrior in the Marley tradition. Her courage to speak out, despite the risks, mirrors Bob's own defiance in the face of political violence and oppression, as seSupport the show

Leo Sidran is a multi instrumentalist musician, producer, arranger, composer, recording artist, and podcast host.The Third Story podcast features long-form interviews with creative people of all types.Their stories of discovery, loss, ambition, identity, improvisation, risk, and reward are deeply moving and compelling for all of us as we embark on our own creative journeys.He was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, which is sometimes referred to as 70 square miles surrounded by reality. His father, Ben Sidran, another multifaceted music man, provided my early musical sustenance. His mother, a weaver and travel agent, provided texture and safe passage.He got his start writing songs professionally as a teenager when the Steve Miller Band recorded four of his songs for their 1993 Wide River album. His father was working with Miller at the time, which is how he made the connection, but even then, at the ripe old age of 15, he was interested in production. So, Steve invited him to play keyboards, guitars and drums on the record. He co-produced the Academy Award Winning song, "Al Otro Lado Del Rio" from the film The Motorcycle Diaries with Jorge Drexler in 2005. After the Oscar win, he made a move to Brooklyn and not only started producing records for other artists, but also composing music for film and television commercials amassing a catalog of 100s of major TV ads for clients like Coca-Cola, Visa, Lincoln, McDonalds, Stella Artois, Ford, Garnier and over a dozen film scores for outlets such as ESPN 30 for 30, Discovery, IFC, Sundance, and PBS.

Jerry Hey is a Grammy Award-winning arranger, composer, and trumpeter with an incredible career that spans decades. His work as an arranger has brought him into close collaboration with legends like Quincy Jones, and he's crafted arrangements for some of the most iconic artists in music. If you've ever listened to major hits, chances are you've heard his brilliant work. As a trumpet player, Jerry's journey began with the group Sea Wind in Hawaii and later led him to become a top player in the Hollywood studios. His life is full of remarkable experiences and unforgettable stories, and I had the privilege of sitting down with him to hear all about it.In Part 1, we kick things off by diving into how Jerry approaches the art of arranging, using three classic songs as examples: "In the Stone" by Earth, Wind & Fire, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson, and "Rosanna" by Toto. Jerry takes us step-by-step through the magic behind these arrangements. Then, Jerry shares his own unique process for crafting his arrangements—it's an art form that's both meticulous and inspired, and he walks us through his creative approach. We also chat about Jerry's close working relationship with Quincy Jones. I couldn't resist asking Jerry what made Quincy such a remarkable force in music. Jerry's studies at Indiana University were a key part of his musical journey, particularly his time under the mentorship of the legendary Bill Adam. It was also at IU that he met Larry Hall, a friend who would remain by his side for life. After leaving IU, Jerry's career took him to Hawaii, where he joined the group Sea Wind, before eventually making his way to Los Angeles, where he became a sought-after player in the studios. To wrap up this section, Jerry shares an unforgettable story from his time recording with the incredible Al Jarreau. Picture this: four intense days of recording from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM, followed by more studio sessions during the day—surviving on just 13 hours of sleep in four days. It's a wild story, and you don't want to miss it.[Part 2, Subscriber Content] Throughout his career, Jerry has had the privilege of playing alongside some of the world's greatest musicians. I ask him to reflect on four of his close friends and musical partners: Larry Hall, Gary Grant, Chuck Findley, and Wayne Bergeron, each of whom has had a significant impact on his life and career. We also explore the differences between recording in New York City versus Los Angeles, especially when it comes to the use of headphones in the studio—a fascinating detail that highlights the unique studio culture in each city. Jerry is also a huge admirer of Sergei Nakariakov, and he shares a hWould you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

Harry Reynolds has negotiated and drafted deals and contracts for A-list celebrities, Grammy-award winning artists, YouTube stars, music producers, record labels, video game companies, television and film writers, directors, and actors. Prior to coming to Reynolds & Associates, Harry worked in Los Angeles as an entertainment associate at Greenberg Glusker. Harry received a perfect score on the ACT college admissions test, attended college on a full-ride academic scholarship, and graduated from Stanford Law School. In this episode we discuss the following: Harry didn't want to be a famous artist for a living, so he chose a career that allowed him to be adjacent to creativity. And now he represents some of the top artists in the world. Being an entertainment attorney is like reading instruction manuals for board games and looking for ways to cheat. Many industries are not as large as people might expect. So, reputation and relationships matter. By looking for win/win deals, not only will people want to keep doing business with you, but also you're likely to get better performance on the deals.
