What is the role of an executive producer in music ?

Producers focus more on the development of music, spending time with the musicians to refine their sound. Executive music producers, however, find the funding for the project and build the financial and talent acquisition procedures of the recording company or production.

Music Producers
During recording sessions or rehearsals, artists are led by the sound expertise of music producers. These professionals may also work with orchestras and bands for stage productions. One of their main tasks is to arrange original musical compositions and musical scores, including harmonies and tones, by using their knowledge of music theory. They also assist artists with their vocal and instrumental arrangements to make them competitive within their genre. This means balancing melody and gauging the volume of the performers. Choosing the sound studio and sound engineer to make an album is often a part of their duties, as well.

Job responsibilities of a music producer include:

Auditioning artists to decide whether or not to work with them or give them a part in a stage production
Utilizing synthesizers and computers to arrange music
Setting up audio equipment
Dealing with artist and studio contracts
