Executive Producer - Music

Music

See also: Music executive

In the music industry, the executive producer of an album is often in control of the business side of production, distribution and promotion, but more often than not, is in charge of the entire project as is a director. They decide what the albums themes will be, create the image for the artist, decide which songs will be singles and have the final say on every single song's completion. It is the executive producer who makes the decision as to when the song is finished and ready to be shown to the public.

In some instances, an executive producer can be a person who "discovered" a particular act, or someone who represents an act, either as an agent or a lawyer.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Now the rich stream of Music winds along
    Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong,”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    “But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “When in our music God is glorified,
    and adoration leaves no room for pride,
    it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia!”
    —Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
