Music Producers Guild

Hello and welcome to the Sound on Sound People and Music Industry podcast.

I'm Sam Inglis and in this episode I'm joined by Cameron Craig, Executive Director of the Music Producers Guild and Chris Cooke from CMU.

Welcome.

Hello.

Hello.

So Chris, I think most listeners will know about the Music Producers Guild but the name CMU might be a bit less familiar.

Can you describe what it is that you

do? I can indeed, or I can try.

The same reason I also feel that there should be, uh, apprenticeships, apprenticeships in our profession, you know.

Which is why, why when Ed Cherney came to me to start the Music Producers Guild, I was executive chairman for two years.

This is what he, myself, George Massenburg, Al Schmitt, Phil Ramone, Ciccarelli, we all sat down and we talked about this.

We wanted to make sure that people had an environment where they can learn properly.
