🎙 Building a Sustainable Career in Music Production
On this roundtable episode of Producer Points, we’re tackling one of the most important—and rarely talked about—topics in the industry: what it really takes to build a sustainable, long-term career in music production. Host Justin Gammella is joined by two powerhouse producers who’ve each carved out their own paths, offering hard-earned wisdom, unfiltered stories, and actionable advice:
🔹 Midi Jones – A versatile producer whose catalog spans pop, R&B, and hip-hop. Known for his adaptability, consistency, and technical mastery, Midi has quietly built a career rooted in relationships, creative integrity, and staying ahead of the curve.
🔹 Sarcastic Sounds (Jeremy) – A producer and artist with a signature lo-fi-meets-indie aesthetic. From self-released viral hits to major label deals and publishing breakthroughs, Jeremy has built a diverse, multi-faceted career that bridges both the artist and producer worlds.
In this episode, we break down:
🎵 What “sustainability” actually means in the modern music industry—beyond just placements and plaques
🎵 Balancing passion projects with paid work (and why you shouldn't be ashamed of doing both)
🎵 How to organize your sessions, back up files, and avoid losing your hard work
🎵 Why so many producers never see their master royalties—and how to navigate label deal realities
🎵 Monetizing your skills in a crowded market: syncs, indie artists, content creation, and more
🎵 Adapting to a changing industry: plugins like Serum 2, the rise of producer content, and staying creatively fulfilled
🎵 Mental health, burnout, and how to stay inspired for the long haul
Plus:
🎧 Listener questions about finding artists, starting late, and the myth of the “Nepo Baby advantage”
🔥 Our unfiltered take on Serum 2 and how it stacks up in 2025’s synth landscape
Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your career to the next level, this episode is full of real talk, practical insight, and a ton of perspective on what longevity in music production really looks like.
🎧 Listen now and invest in your long game.
