Websters Dictionary Defines Music As: ' **the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity" but we know that in modern day society it is so much more.

Ever since there has been speech, there has been music. Music affects everyone with the ability to hear, not only as a form of art, but as a multi-billion dollar industry. For generations mankind has contrived simple rhythmic patterns and clever phrases into songs that not only out live their creator, but impact the lives of millions. How is it, that one person can identify which band will progress their material into a billboard top one hundred, a top grossing song, or that tune that no matter what you do you cannot seem to get out of your head? Many have sought out the solution to this predicament. The answer lies with a vast and complex combination of the music industry and the creative process that takes place in the minds of all who think and breath. To keep it concise, there are some people on this earth that have the god given talent to be able to hear success, even in bands that are not fully developed. Three record producers that have shown uncanny talent over the last couple of decades are Rick Rubin, Clive Davis, and Eddie Kramer. Although the music industry has changed drastically, all of these men have successfully produced hit band after hit band. In order to learn more about these producers, and how they do what they do do, i will interview multiple people who have spent their lives in the music business, both professionally and as a hobby. I will also record and produce an album with my close and personal friends, and other musicians i have met through the course of my life as an attempt to submerge myself into the music production and business process. I will also commit large amounts of time to secondary research. Some of my sources may be viewed below. **
