When people listen to music, they often don’t think about how the song was made, who helped get it from point A to point B, and how much work goes into putting the song together before its release. In this episode, Deeba Abrishamchi—an A&R Music Talent Scout for Unrestricted— walks us through the process of what really goes down in the music industry. 

An A&R’s responsibilities range from discovering talent  to sign, overseeing recording and artist development, setting up studio sessions for artists, songwriters, and producers, and much more. Deeba explains the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry, the behind-the-scenes process of putting together a song, how Tik Tok is changing the music industry, and her overall experience as an A&R. Curious about how to get your start in the music industry? All it takes is an ear for music, relentless passion, and a will to learn.
