Music Citizens Episode 5: The Tastemaker
Music Citizens Episode 5 goes inside the highest stakes job in the industry - A&R. Through the lens and life of A&R lifer Kim Buie, we get to see that this glamorous job is mostly about losing. Missing out on artists who become superstars (her near-miss tale of N.W.A. is amazing), knowing that the majority of albums you help shepherd into the world will flop and being the person who has to say no to a musician’s lifelong dream. Buie explains what’s kept her going through all that, what shaped her tastes and how her approach differs from the way most major labels are approaching talent acquisition in the TikTok era. · Jason Moon Wilkins — Host · Justin Barney — Reporter, Producer · Kim Buie — A&R legend · Pete Ganbarg — A&R Executive · Ben Folds— Musician · Aaron Lee Tasjan - Musician This episode was produced by Justin Barney, Emily Siner and Jason Moon Wilkins.
