For Episode 20 of the Sound Xscape Podcast, we sat down with Don Domingo to talk about the evolution of the music industry, the business behind production, and what it really takes to build a lasting legacy as a producer.

From how recording studios operated back in the day compared to today’s studio culture, to the new movie studio coming to Kansas City and the opportunities it could create for producers and their music catalogs, we get into the bigger picture of where the industry is headed.

We also break down the difference between grabbing beats off YouTube and locking in with a producer to create something intentional, original, and built around your sound.

Whether you’re an artist, producer, or creative trying to navigate the industry, this episode is all about understanding the value of relationships, ownership, and making the right moves for your career
