EP#75: {Student Success} Blowing A Sync Execs Mind with Jess Magoch

If your first few attempts at self-producing your music have left you feeling like throwing in the towel, this episode is for you. Jess Magoch is an award winning Philadelphia based Hip Hop/Jazz artist who decided it was time to become more independent through developing her skills in recording and production. But as Jess shares in her chat with Isobel, it wasn’t a straightforward process. It took patience, practice and self-compassion for Jess to gradually build up her production chops and, eventually, she and other people couldn’t believe how good her recordings were sounding. In fact, a major sync exec for brands like Vogue and Vanity Fair was blown away by Jess’ production skills. What’s even better is that Jess now feels 100 X more confident, independent and excited about her music moving forward.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{0:00} Intro{06:40} How Jess got started in music and how she used it to find her voice{11:30} Why you’re never ‘too old’ to pursue your music{18:00} The moment when a major sync exec was blown away by Jess’s production skills{24:39} The process of learning and taking action is more important than the ‘perfect’ outcome{34:24} The most important lessons Jess has learned from recording and and producing her music {40:45} How learning these skills has allowed Jess to communicate her ideas with confidence and produce her music on her terms{58:07} Jess shares the plans for her forthcoming album, Trivial Pursuit, and her advice for other DIY musicians{01:03:36} Episode SummaryPre-order Jess’s new album, Trivial Pursuit >>Download Jess’s unreleased song for FREE >>Find out more about Jess and follow her journey >> Ready to level up your music making with the powerful art of field recording?
