What does it take to make it in the music business? A question that has probably been asked many times by aspiring, hungry artists that see no other future than to be living off of their musical talents. The theme of this episode is sparked by the Dynaudio Unheard project. During five days in Los Angeles, also known as Tinseltown, we recorded numerous interviews with musicians, producers and other people from the industry.

At the center of the story are two individuals: Michael Patterson, a producer, who has worked for names like Nine Inch Nails, Puff Daddy and Moby; and Amber Ryann, an upcoming artist who works incredibly hard to make it to the top. These are their stories of makin’ it in LA.

Thanks to:
Amber Ryann, Michael Patterson, Dylan Berry, Kirk Whalum, Ari Buffalo and Ryan Scottie.
