Episode #156 - Kyle Andrews

Kyle Andrews talks about his career as an artist and songwriters. You've heard his music on national ad campaigns for companies including Holiday Inn, Doritos, and Dell Computer and the topic of music licensing is one of the many discussed.

We touch on his creativity, including his unique songwriting and production style. For example, his album Robot Learn Love, which features some vocals recorded through built-in laptop mics and others recorded through top-of-the-line studio preamps. It has drums simulated with software in the bedroom and backing strings played by real musicians and tracked at pro recording studios.

On the business end, we talk about his first record deal, his decision to go independent, and stay independent, turning down multiple record deals. We talk about the business of making music videos. We talk about the business of touring. 

And we review music sent in by Music Business Radio listeners from around the world...
