Interview with composer Andrew Oye

Canadian Composer Andrew OyeThis is the first podcast in my series “Above The Noise.” The purpose of these podcasts is to find out what it takes to permeate to the top. With the physical ability to only listen to 5% of new music released every week (thanks to Jay Frank for this stat) it is clear that the true task is to be “Heard Above The Noise.” The interviews will be with the people behind the music and the people behind the business of this industry. We will be sharing conversations with musicians, composers, marketing and branding gurus, social media experts, industry leaders, thought provokers and futurists!

On this occasion it is my pleasure to sit down with friend and composer Andrew Oye. If your are still trying to figure out how to make a living in music and how to get your music from your home studio to the big screen you’ll find all the information and more here!

Thanks and untl next time, stay above the noise!
