Produce Like a Boss - with Kris Bradley

By Kris Bradley

Are you a songwriter, artist, or musician? Do you want to be self-sufficient as an independent music creator? That’s exactly where I was not that long ago! That's why I'm passionate about teaching artists how to produce! Whether you want to learn to produce your own songs, or just understand what goes into production so you can communicate your needs to another producer in the studio, my mission is to help you do exactly that! No "techy talk" or gear talk here, just practical, simple solutions to help you execute your vision, as well as mindset tweaks to keep you on track with your career!

Ep 77: Being Authentic As A Producer

In part 3 of this 4-part podcast series, "The 6 Figure Producer Blueprint," I sit down with P.LAB team member Patrick Clark to discuss how to stay authentic as a producer!

Missed parts 1&2? Listen to them here:

https://www.producelikeaboss.com/podcast-episode-75

https://www.producelikeaboss.com/podcast-episode-76

This week's episode is all about authenticity.

As you continue your journey as a budding producer, imposter syndrome can really start to rear its ugly head. And that can ultimately lead to a bit of an identity crisis as you take on this new role.

We discuss some mindset hacks that you can use to gain more confidence in your role and some practical things you can do with your productions to continually improve your music.

Additionally, in this episode, we talk about how you can start to level up your production chops through our mid-level course, "Beatmaking For Songwriters"

Ep 76: What Is My Value?

In part 2 of this 4 part podcast series “The 6 Figure Producer Blueprint”, I sit down with P.LAB team member Patrick Clark to discuss how to price your services!

Missed part 1?  Listen to that here:

https://www.producelikeaboss.com/podcast-episode-75


Do you have a hard time putting a dollar sign on your services?

You're not alone; one of the most common issues we come across in the P.LAB community is students struggling with properly evaluating what they offer and what they should be charging.

So, in the second episode of this four-part podcast series, I sit down with P.LAB team member Patrick Clark to discuss how to break out of the limiting mindset that prevents us from charging what we're worth.

Additionally, in this episode, we talk about how you can start to truly hone your production chops through our entry-level course, "From Voice Memo To Demo."

Ep 67: Making Music for Film/TV as a Music Producer With Marlon Gibbons

In this episode, I sit down with producer Marlon Gibbons of Production Music and we discuss making music for film/tv!

Marlon Gibbons is a multi-instrumentalist & Composer for TV & Advertising.

He’s been in the sync world for almost 2 decades and to date has had thousands of TV placements. In the early 2000’s he had his music featured on the SIMS game franchise “Space Station” and since then, he’s turned “Production Music'' into a full-time career.

A few of Marlon’s credits include The Bachelor, Dancing With The Stars, Temptation Island, America’s Got Talent, Master Chef, Discovery ID, Archer, Access Hollywood, American Idol, Top Gear, F-Word, and more.

Marlon and I discuss….

  • The difference between music production and production music
  • Relationship-building with libraries and supervisors
  • How to take “older influences” like blues/rock and modernize them
  • The importance of research before reaching out to publishers

…and more!

Have you ever been “in the flow”, spouting ideas in your DAW as fast as you can record them? Feels great, right? But then maybe you heard a sound in your head that would be awesome, and the next thing you know, it’s 45 minutes of messing with your synth later, the flow has slowed to a bare trickle, and your muse has packed up and left for a cooler party somewhere down the street… If that sounds familiar, then you’ve got to hear today’s episode!

Today, I am sooooo excited to have Dean Palya from Slate Digital as my special guest!

He’s going to show off their new, super cool synth, ANA 2 ULTRA. But he’s not just going to make some bleep-bloops and leave us to figure it out on our own!  We’re going to dive into 3 SIMPLE things you can do to start tweaking synths TODAY.  You’ll even learn how you can get ANA 2 Ultra as part of Slate’s All Access Pass FREE for 30 days!!

Dean is the VP of Product at Slate Digital, where he leads the team to create educational content for Slate Academy, Sample packs, Mix Templates, plugins, and more.

Outside of Slate Digital, Dean is also a songwriter and producer. He loves to create tools and products that help producers and songwriters around the world create better music.

Ep 40: The Slight Edge - Stop Trying to "Make It", Quantum Leaps are BS Part 2

This is Part 2 of the Series: "The Slight Edge - Stop Trying to “Make It”, Quantum Leaps are BS"

I’m rereading one of my favorite books “The Slight Edge” right now, which is about how it’s actually the little things we do everyday that contribute to our success, not HUGE quantum leaps. In other words, there’s no overnight success. 💪⚡️

In this episode, I break down the habits I needed to form to get to the point where I am today, what my daily routine was while building my production business, and then I give some insight into how I operate now to stay on top of two businesses and continue to produce! 🎧

The music business is growing and changing and there has never been a better time to get in and make money with your music. I am working on a new advanced course for you right now, as well as a mentorship program, and I am soooo excited to share it with you in the coming months. 💜

Ep 36: Student Success Stories - Carmel Helene

Carmel Helene is a total ROCKSTAR! 🌟 Carmel started “From Voice Memo 2 Demo” less than 8 months ago and has already landed two songs with a major library, AND people are hitting her up left and right for production projects!

Kris and Carmel talk about the ups and downs of trying to learn how to become a producer when you are starting out as a female singer-songwriter not knowing a thing about the production world.

Then, Carmel goes deep into why Kris’s course “From Voice Memo 2 Demo” has changed the game for her. How she was finally able to learn to do what she has dreamt of doing for so long.

She talks about the freedom and empowerment she feels by having these skills under her belt, how Kris is such a fun and simple yet captivating teacher, and the best part… that it's only just the beginning for her!
