Rick Beato in Studio 1
While in Sydney for his inaugural Australian tour, acclaimed American musician, producer and music educator Rick Beato dropped into our Studio 1 for a group session with the teams at Island Records and EMI Music.
The visit brought together some of the industry’s passionate music minds for an afternoon of listening to new music, sharing ideas and talking all things music – from songwriting and production to the creative decisions that bring great records to life.
With more than 5.5 million YouTube subscribers, Rick has built a global following through his channel Everything Music, where his deep knowledge of music theory, recording and musicianship meets infectious enthusiasm for the craft. His celebrated video series What Makes This Song Great? has earned a devoted audience by unpacking musically hidden details behind some of the world’s most iconic recordings.
Beyond his online presence, Rick’s career spans decades as a musician, producer, songwriter and educator, making him a valuable voice in conversations about the art and science of music making.
It was a pleasure to welcome Rick into Forbes St for good music, good conversation, and fresh perspectives with the teams from Island Records and EMI.
