Musicians Institute Conversation Series

The MI Conversation Series provided artists, producers & music industry professionals with an opportunity to educate and inspire by sharing their experiences with Musicians Institute students and a live audience of fans online. Hosted by Wayne Jobson, past guests included Ziggy Marley, Jackson Browne, Brandon Boyd, Matt Sorum, Dave Wakeling, Nick Hexum, Adrian Young, James Valentine, Mark McGrath, Don Was and Slipknot. A special edition hosted by Alt 98.7fm’s Darren Rose featured special guest Nikki Sixx. 

“Songwriting is a very visual art form. It’s how to describe things with words or music that allows people to see into that life. He was a master.” - Jackson Browne on Warren Zevon

“I still think it’s really important for some songs to be very human. There were some songs on Tragic Kingdom that we didn’t even record to a click track at all. It’s not perfectly in time, those songs, but that’s by design.” - Adrian Young on Tragic Kingdom

Recorded conversations were made available on-demand on Livestream.com. Partners such as The Recording Academy® Producers & Engineers Wing® used the MI Conversation Series as an opportunity to offer their members an exclusive calendar event that celebrated music, production and education.

For Musicians Institute, it provided a way to connect with thousands of prospective students through social media, as the live-streaming conversations were promoted by the guests to their fans, and created an invaluable learning opportunity for students already enrolled in the school.
