    L. Marquee - Musician, Artist, & Engineer

    Show Notes
    SmArtists, Barry Coffing started musicsupervisor.com with his musician and filmmaker friends in a basement bedroom. They used their own song catalogs and short movies that needed music. When they needed outside songs, they decided to build a better mousetrap. After asking the right questions they figured out the easiest way to execute this process. 10 years later they’ve grown to 10,000 indie labels, 200,000 tracks, and thousands of placements. With their Springboard Festivals and music conferences, they’re finding the best indie music in the world and they’re bringing it into the marketplace.

    My Favourite Quote
    “You’d be shocked by how much money you’d save by hiring a professional...you think a pro is expensive? Hire an amateur.” - Barry Coffing

    This can be as much of a learning curve as you like. Once you’ve refined your process then consider spending your hard-earned money on a professional. The point here is that for a little extra money you will have a much smoother experience and you will likely learn a lot more from the experience. At the end of the day, you were more productive with your time, money, and energy. It sounds like a better deal to me. What do you think? Let me know here!

    How A Canadian Music Industry GIANT Values Mentorship | Garth Richardson | S3E31

    How A Canadian Music Industry GIANT Values Mentorship | Garth Richardson | S3E31

    This is Garth Richardson! He is a Juno award-winning Producer and Engineer who began his career at the young age of 15 while working in his father’s studio. Later, he became one of the founders of The Nimbus School of Recording Arts. Garth’s unyielding focus on excellence, dedication, and passion are just a few of the reasons the artists he works with, and the albums he produces, go on to achieve great things. Garth has worked with Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rise Against, Atreyu, Biffy Clyro, Taylor Swift, to only name a few. I went into this conversation with the intention to unravel how mentorship has impacted his life. As time passed Garth went from mentee to mentor. He knows the immense value that mentorship can be and wants to deliver it to those who are truly committed to what this life is. If you are serious about this Garth wants you to know that this isn’t a job but rather it is a lifestyle.

    Episode theme: How did your previous mentors affect how you mentor today? Mentorship coming full circle. It is incredibly difficult if not impossible for people to accomplish extraordinary tasks on their own. Without mentorship, we wouldn’t have a lot of the magnificent art that has been put out throughout history. Humanity’s greatest strength is collective knowledge. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of how valuable mentorship is at all levels then this episode is for you! Watch HERE.

    Thank you for joining us, Garth! A big thank you to Prevail Media Group for producing Go Produce. Thank you FACTOR Canada for funding part of this initiative.

    This is Tokyo Speirs! He is the Mix Engineer and one of the hired musicians for Walk Off The Earth, a Canadian indie pop band from Burlington, Ontario. The group is known for its music videos of covers and originals. He does production, mixing, recording, and songwriting. He has the ability to hear things that you would not pick up on unless you are incredibly trained. Despite growing up as a fan of music, he didn’t always consider pursuing a career in the music industry.

    Episode theme: Musical and technical knowledge is a must. How do you hear what trained ears don’t hear as an artist? Come learn how Tokyo has developed his ear so well that it got him working with Walk Off The Earth. If you want to know how this engineer helps his team consistently release viral cover songs then this episode is for you! Watch HERE.
