Carlos Alcala is the EVP & Head of A&R at Thrive Music, one of the hottest record labels in the dance music industry right now. They've been putting out huge record from Tiesto, Acraze, Wuki, Moore Kimset and more.
In this episode we talk about what A&R people actually do, how hit songs come together, how to get signed, connecting with the culture and the importance of using social media and promoting your music (and the resistance many artists have to it).
