  • Do Yourself a Favor! Just LISTEN!

    I've been eager to write this review. I needed time to sit down and give this podcast the proper praise it deserves.

After just two episodes, “The Producer Head” podcast has risen to the top of my long list. Toru's choice of guests, along with his skills as a conversationalist and interviewer, are top-notch. I'm excited to see where he takes the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

057. Don't Be The Best, Be This Instead feat. Alsogood
Q: How do you approach collaboration and choosing who to work with?
I value the chemistry, reliability, and humanity of collaborators over sheer technical prowess; telepathic understanding and mutual respect matter more than being the most virtuoso.
057. Don't Be The Best, Be This Instead feat. Alsogood
Q: Why branch into an instrumental project and live band work after establishing yourself as a beatmaker?
Working with musicians helped me translate my ideas into real instruments; learning bass, then keys, allowed me to express what I had inside more directly and to shape collaborations with live players.
057. Don't Be The Best, Be This Instead feat. Alsogood
Q: What were the first producers or songs you danced to that made you want to start making beats?
I was drawn to Della Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and funk/disco records, and I imitatively studied Primo and Petro to train my ear, gradually moving from copying to developing my own voice.
052. Mo Playlists Mo Problems | feat. Ian Ewing
Q: What would you tell an aspiring producer about building community beyond streaming?
Focus on direct-to-listener channels like Discord, email lists, Patreon, and live collaborations; prioritize quality engagement over quantity, and treat side projects as a creative refuge that can feed the main project.
052. Mo Playlists Mo Problems | feat. Ian Ewing
Q: How did you start making money from music beyond just creating it?
Early on I leveraged SoundCloud connections and later navigated monetization as Spotify grew; the key was staying active, engaging with other artists, and seizing opportunities when the audience expanded, while keeping money from dictating my creativity.
