In this episode of Recording Studio Rockstars, Lij Shaw and Dr. Ford explore what really goes into music production—from songwriting and vocal techniques to how social media is shaping the industry. They discuss the importance of staying flexible, much like in jiu-jitsu, and how AI can be a helpful tool while still emphasizing the human touch. Dr. Ford shares stories from his journey, including studio setup, maintaining health, and balancing creativity with hustle. It’s a conversation about teamwork, adaptability, and pursuing what truly makes you passionate about music and life. Tune in for an insightful and inspiring discussion on making great music today.
