Offkey

This week on OffKey, we’re looking at our first character in the storyline of the creation of music: the Songwriter. Featured in this episode are the insights of: Kathryn Calder, of The New Pornographers, Frontperson, and Oscar St. Records; Karen Kosowski, songwriter and producer based in Nashville; Mateo Palmisano, composer and producer of Xitmuse; Jonathan Simkin, founder of 604 Records; and Mike McCarty & Holly Fagan from SOCAN. We discussed how the Songwriter starts building a career, connecting with collaborators, sorting out composition credits, and making money. Hope you enjoy our conversations as much as I did and learn something new!
