In this episode of the Music Business Podcast, we interview Jake Posner, SVP A&R at Hallwood Media. In addition to managing artists of his own, Jake specializes in working with artists in the songwriter and producer space. In this episode, we discuss how he discovered A R I Z O N A, the A&R process for finding songwriters and producers to sign, the vetting process for potential collaborations with his artists, goal setting as a producer and/or songwriter, and more. Additionally, because Hallwood Media launched in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we discuss how that shaped the beginning of Hallwood Media’s strategy and what it may look like post-pandemic.
