Wayne G Miller: Clarity in Choice, Scarcity Mindset, and Why the Song Always Wins

This week's guest is producer, bassist, musical director and songwriter Wayne G Miller. Wayne has performed with or acted as musical director for a range of artists including Mike Posner, Christina Perri, AlunaGeorge, and Snakehips. He now produces and writes for various artists, both major label and independent, and mentors up and coming artists. We had a great conversation about touring, transitioning from the road to producing in the studio, battling the scarcity mindset, the importance of working on music you love, and having clarity on why you take a gig.

In this episode, we'll dig in on...

  • A great song supersedes everything
  • Underestimating the relational factor of getting a gig
  • Quoting jobs
  • Battling the scarcity mindset
  • Transitioning from MD to producer
  • Playing late night shows as rite of passage
