In this video, I talk candidly about my experiences as both a session musician, and a producer/record label owner who hires session musicians on a regular basis.

I talk about I look for when hiring other musicians, why I chose one person over another, and try to be as open as I can about the process behind it all.

There is no magic bullet to instantly make you a session musician, but hopefully hearing it from somebody on both sides of the veil might provide you with a few insights.
