Producers, however, hold a huge role in the creation of songs.
Music producers and engineers work together on the behind-the-scenes process of creating a song. According to
Chron, producers are the overseers of the entire creative process of the song, and they provide advice to artists on what they can do to make a song successful. Music engineers are educated on soundboards and are typically in charge of controlling them during recording sessions under the suggestions of the producer.
Mathias Tyner, a 16-year-old producer, started making beats on his phone in the sixth grade.
