Your weekend Mix Protégé recap
​
by Dana Nielsen

Happy New Year, Reader! The past two weeks have been a blur and I’m excited to be back into the swing of things with a fresh Friday Fader for ya!

đŸ€Ż It’s like you’re IN THE STUDIO w/ me!

Take a 360Âș immersive trip into the studio with me and literally “look around” while singer-songwriter, ZELDA, performs one of her new songs I’m producing. Featuring Rick Boston on bass, Charlie Paxson on drums, and fellow Mix ProtĂ©gĂ©, Michael Leto, engineering! This was my first time using a 360 camera and I’m pumped for all the new immersive ways I’ll be able to invite you into the studio with me…
