Seeing the big picture has always been important for Jordan Moed. The guitarist and songwriter decided to take control of his band’s music production process when he realized how much time and money they were spending on recording, 生产, 发布他们的歌曲. 满帆的 音乐制作学士课程 gave him the skills he needed to tackle tasks inside the studio. Now he’s doing the same for clients through Crashline工作室, his Nashville-based music production house — and he’s loving every minute of it.
