Episode 148 - Being a Songwriter and Composer for Animation with Kevin Smithers

I’m delighted to bring you an outstanding conversation with Kevin Smithers, who is a talented songwriter and composer for film and television. During our chat, Kevin shares what drew him to pursue a music career in film and TV, his approaches as a songwriter and composer working in animation, the collaborative aspect of his work, developing skills for shifting between various musical styles for different projects, embracing the flow of the creative process, the importance of having patience, advice for anyone interested in chasing a dream as a songwriter or composer for film and TV, and so much more. Also, he talks about his work on Frankelda’s Book of Spooks and the Ballad of the Phoenix. I truly loved having Kevin on the show for such a fascinating conversation, so I hope it gives you a glimpse into the life of a songwriter and composer for animation.
