We are back with the Producergrind Podcasts after 6 months since quarantine started. We took a trip to LA to interview producer Bone Collector where he gives us gems on working with songwriters in order to get producer placements. Bone Collector also shares his music producer come up story being from the Ivory Coast, moving to France and succeeding in the French music industry, then eventually moving to LA with no relationships, following his gut and manifesting his music career.
