For 20 years, he has been making hits. In fact, he has over 40 contemporary jazz hits to his credit as a producer, songwriter, and pianist. That list includes 27 Top 10 hits, 11 number 1 hits and a Grammy win.\n\nThey discussed the impact of COVID on in-house studio recording and its effect to the overall producing process. They talk about Michael's first producing gig with Marion Meadows and and how he combined his jazz influence as a producer and songwriter with pop and R&B which gives his style the catchiness and accessibility.\n\nTune in to hear how he balanced between producing for many talented jazz artists and staying connected with his wife and kids. Listen to Michael as he shares how adapting to change and trends will make you a better producer and songwriter who will never run out of ideas.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/70fcd556-2375-4274-a7c6-7c04552d457d/kIWhUpyFFrA_TefWgjzWh78b.jpg"}
