Being a production music composer is not always lollipops and sunshine, and truth is, there are some pretty sobering and inconvenient truths about this industry that you should know before you go all in. So today, we’re going to say the quiet parts out loud, and talk the aspects of the gig which you just need to get ok with.

Plus, we’re going to take a listen to "Sunshine Girl," an upbeat acoustic cue written by 52 Cues Community, Ralph Oleski (https://soundcloud.com/user-936339303)!

Plus we feature a cue written by 52 Cues community, and this week, we’re gonna take a listen to “Sunshine Girl,” an upbeat acoustic cue by Ralph Oleski.
