In an interview with socialbites.ca, composer Viktor Drobysh answered the question of why artists need producers, when in 2023 some musicians are promoting themselves on the Internet.
“It only takes a computer and the internet to be popular. But I have already said that this is equivalent to creating a car in a garage: maybe someone can do it, but it is still made somewhere in the factory. So in music, ”said Drobysh.
He also complained about the biased attitude towards the work of manufacturers in Russia.
“The producer does not cancel the popularity of the singer. It doesn’t make it somehow bad or underdeveloped, as many are beginning to think. On the contrary, it brings more self-confidence, helps the singer’s longevity. Even according to the Russian proverb “One head is good, but two heads are better.” The producer is not some idiot who calls himself that to drag girls to the couch as they think in show business. If the producer is also a musician, it can become a very important unit in the artist’s life. Even famous Western artists did not shy away from this, ”the composer concluded.
