Producer’s Chair exists to showcase underground music producers and hobbyists from around the world who have passion for their craft.
Join me as I talk with them about DAWs, plugins, instruments, recording techniques, samplers, synths, inspiration, writers-block and anything else that's part of the process.
We get to discover these amazing people, listen to their art and learn all about their creative process. We also joke around and have a lot of fun during the interviews.
New episodes are released every other Wednesday morning.
