Confused about what a music producer does? Have no fear, music producer Bryan Hinkley speaks with host Donna Truong to answer: "What even is a music producer? What do music producers do?" 

In this episode, some topics that they go over are:

  • the responsibilities of music producers
  • what music producing software and tools are used by music producers
  • how music affects the mood, memory, and body


Bryan Hinkley is a Boston-based music producer who has been in the music industry for decades. He started his music career in the 7th grade when he joined a band with his friend and their teacher. In high school, he joined the punk rock band Tree. Since then, he has recorded multiple albums, worked with bands Clutch and Gang Green, has toured internationally, and worked as a stage manager, tour manager, and guitar tech. Not only that, he has also written and produced his own songs in EP "We Live Through It." 

In addition, Bryan founded the music production house Gratitude Sound, where the main focus is advertising music. He even won a Clio Award for best original music in a Cheerios commercial. And, that's not even half of this man's credentials!
