Here are 7 of the most influential music producers

In the world of music, one of the most essential components of a good song or album is the producer. Of course you need a good melody, ear-grabbing lyrics, and smooth vocals, but the producer is the one who brings the song to life.

For an artist, the dream is to work with a producer who can take their sound to the next level. There are so many producers working in the music business with various levels of success.
