In episode 14 of Lobby Call, we sit down with music supervisor, musician, and artist Ryan Svendsen. We take you on another journey of learning and discovery about yet another aspect of the music industry. Ryan has a LONG list of very cool accomplishments and most recently worked on Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard as a music supervisor, and he also played trumpet on Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow's "Industry Baby." In short, he's winning. And oh yea, we also talk about indie vs. commercial success in this episode! Definitely check out his new single (seriously, the man does it all), "No Preservatives" out now!
