My career in the entertainment industry has enabled me to work with a diverse range of talent.

Through my years of experience, I've recognized

two essential aspects. Industry professionals, whether famous stars or behind-the-scenes staff,

have fascinating stories to tell. Secondly, audiences are eager to listen to these stories,

which offer a glimpse into their lives and the evolution of their life stories.

This podcast aims to share these narratives, providing information on how they evolve into their chosen career.

We will delve into their journey to stardom, discuss their struggles and successes, and hear from people who help them achieve their goals.

Get ready for intriguing behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the fascinating world of

entertainment.

Hi, I'm Tony Mantor. Welcome to Almost Live Nashville.

Joining us today is Fred Malin, songwriter, producer, and someone who's had a

quiet but huge impact on the music industry. His very first production was sometimes when we touch,

which is pretty incredible. When you think about it, one of the most powerful and emotional songs

ever written. And he did it right out of the gate. We will be talking about his career,

the music and the projects along the way, the moments that stayed with him, the memories that

end up shaping who you are and in this case turning into songs that last a lifetime.

Plus, we'll talk about his book Unplugged, which pulls the curtain back on all of it,

the studio, the stories, and what happens

when you strip things down to what really matters.

We'll also talk about what he's working on now and where his creative focus is today.

He has a tremendous story, so before we dive into our episode, we'll be back with an uninterrupted

show right after a word from our sponsors. Thanks for coming on. Oh, yeah, no. First of all, I'm, you know, again, sorry. Sorry, we couldn't make it earlier, but, you know, good things come to those who wait, so, yeah. Absolutely. I really appreciate you coming on. To kick it off, let's give everybody an update on what you're doing now.
