Sync Gems Podcast Episode 41: Working With Rick Rubin, Staying Humble & Going The Extra Mile w/ Dana Nielsen | August 16, 2023
I’m so thrilled to share this very fun, long-overdue conversation with music producer, multi-instrumentalist, Roy Matz for Episode 41 of his fantastic Sync Gems podcast.
Roy is a music producer, performer, rapper and multi-instrumentalist originally from Israel. He and I met in Vo Williams’ Advanced Sync Strategies course in the Ari’s Take Academy, and we immediately hit it off over a shared love of music production, sync licensing, and … surfing!
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
Be sure to check out Roy’s other podcast episodes for additional inspiring convos about sync licensing, production, music business, and more.
