S1 E20 - Two Minutes and Thirty Seconds to Bud feat John Alagia and Earl Bud Lee

January 18, 2019

John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Lukas Nelson, Rachael Yamagata, Jason Mraz...Is that enough name drops, because John Alagia has more in the chamber? World renowned producer John Alagia swung by the studio and just happened to have Earl Bud Lee, Grammy award winning writer (including the song "Friends in Low Places"), tag along. Unfortunately, the Grammys were too heavy to lug with, but they made up for it with tales of the tape and scribbled hits on the back of napkins, as they've both lost count of the millions of records sold and streams accounted for. How do you get started turning your passion into a career? What's sync licensing look like in 2019, and how can a person in the recording arts even make a dime? Is client experience really that important if you're the best at what you do? Wash down all those answers with a nice highball or something a bit more neat. Stads and Auz throw down with two of the heaviest hitting titans in the entrepreneurial world of music.
