In this episode, Lister Rossel—music producer and A&R at West One Music—takes us on his journey from funk band performer in Chile to producing international music in London. Lister opens up about the emotional intensity of being a solo artist and why he transitioned from performer to producer, finding relief in creating music for others rather than constantly "squeezing his soul" for his own songwriting. We explore what A&R really means in the sync world, how he connects artists across Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and why genuine human connection matters more than transactional relationships in music production. Lister shares the incredible story of how a chance meeting in Granada five years ago led to his dream flamenco album project, proving that staying open to life's moments—combined with love for the craft—brings opportunities full circle. Whether you're a producer, composer, or artist navigating the music industry, this conversation reveals the power of being present, honest about your path, and surrounding yourself with people who inspire you to level up.
