Get It In Writing CEO Daniel Keller hosts a panel of producers including Michael Beinhorn, Frank Filipetti (George Michael, Barbra Streisand, Vanessa Williams), Ross Hogarth (John Fogerty, Melissa Ethridge, Ziggy Marley), Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, Imagine Dragons, John Hiatt), and Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Warren Zevon, Kiss), for an in-depth discussion on the producer's role in the creative process.
